Hi,
We are having a license pool of floating licenses. We do need to be able to run test on different machines, and this number exceeds the number of licenses.
Is there any way to ask for availeble licenses on the server, instead of just failing the test executions, when no licenses are availeble.
At the moment we are using a script with a db. But outside of the test environment, people tend to forget to use the script.
Thanks for any help.

Licenses are attempted when the application (TestExecute or TestComplete) are started up. As far as I know, there's not an API call to the license server that you can call outside of those two applications. Simply starting the application attempts to consume the license.
I could be wrong... but I think that you may just need to tighten up your procedures for running automations to make sure that too many simultaneous executions aren't attempted.
AlumniHi Christian_N_DK,
Please consider specifying users (machines) who may connect to the license manager and get the license. Perhaps, you can configure this before starting a test. You can find more information here:
Thanks for the reply.
I have no way of knowing wo will trigger a test, or how many machines they will trigger. So we have manifested a more strict process for test executions.
Within the environment, we have a simple script and a db, managing the licenses. It works fine. Even with bulk test initiations and 80 machines hamering away.
This script, is now mandatory for taking and releasing a licens.
