StaffWhile you can run a License Manager on a VM, the constraints imposed by the licensing system make using a VM worse than using a physical machine if you can't control how the VM is managed. If you have the choice of using a physical machine, take it.
As for using the same machine to run TestComplete and serve licenses,.... yes, you can do that. In fact, you have the same license server bits already installed as part of the TestComplete installation. (The License Manager installation is just a repackaging of only the license server bits and pretty interface, and no TestComplete bits.)
joseph_michaud can you expand on the comment "While you can run a License Manager on a VM, the constraints imposed by the licensing system make using a VM worse than using a physical machine if you can't control how the VM is managed."?
Are you saying that it will work to install TEstComplete license manager on (say) an Azure VM, with floating-license TestExecute running on VMs, as long as I have good control over the content and life of those VMs? What is the downside of doing so? Is the point that VMs are traditionally transient machines, and tearing down/setting up VMs for license servers becomes a problem?
Thanks.
