Select license settings

The License screen is where you choose how NeoLoad gets its license. Open it any time from Help > License management.

From the License General settings section, you can run NeoLoad in three modes:

• Use a license file: Run NeoLoad with a license file installed on the machine.

• Use a server: Run NeoLoad with a license retrieved from NeoLoad Web.

• Use VUH only, with Cloud sessions: Run Cloud tests with Virtual User Hours instead of a license. For more information, see VUH only.

Use a license file

When you run NeoLoad with a local license file, you can:

• Load a key with Enter a license key. For more information, see Install a license key.

• Make the loaded key operational with Activate license key. For more information, see Activate a license key.

• Move the key to another machine with Transfer to another machine. For more information, see Transfer a license key.

Use a server

When you run NeoLoad with a license from a server, you can:

• Lease a Virtual Users capacity manually with Lease. For more information, see Lease Virtual Users capacity.

• Return a Virtual Users capacity with Release. For more information, see Release Virtual Users capacity.

• Lease a license automatically when a test starts. For more information, see Activate license auto-lease.

• Manage licenses offline when there's no network connection between NeoLoad and the license server. Select the Manage licenses offline checkbox. For more information, see Manage licenses offline.

• Add Virtual User Hours on top of your lease to handle peak usage. For more information, see the VUH User Guide.
