Set up a license for Tricentis ARA

You have 7 days after you install Tricentis ARA to record and save TestCases without a license. After this period, you can still record TestCases, but you need to set up a valid license to play back or save your recording. When the seven-day grace period is over, Tricentis ARA asks you to enter a license.

You can enjoy the full functionality of Tricentis ARA with an execution-only license or a Tricentis Tosca Premium license.

Tricentis offers the following licensing categories:

  • Cloud Licensing: floating licensing via Cloud-hosted license server.

  • On-Premise Licensing: floating licensing via your own, on-premise license server.

The Tricentis License Server has its own setup and is released independently from Tricentis ARA.
