Licensing
Users do not need any license to log in to Test Services, execute the OpenLab Software Installation Verification Test (SVT), System Report, or Connectivity Test, or to view last test results and access reports from previous test executions.
However:
- To execute the OpenLab Security Test and/or the OpenLab Storage System Test, the
QlaSecuritylicense must be available. - To execute the Workflow Test, the
QlaCDSWorkflowlicense must be available.
Each machine where a licensed test is executed requires one license.
All applicable licenses are included with OpenLab CDS Workstation Plus systems. For other CDS products, licenses must be purchased and installed separately.
License acquisition
The license is acquired at the first execution of a licensed test and remains acquired after the test execution completes — it is not released back to the license pool after the test finishes.
For tests that require a license, the license is acquired when the user clicks the Start button for a licensed test. A License Acquired message appears next to the test name.
If there are not enough licenses available, the test fails at step "Checking for license <license name>." You can still view previous Test Services results.
Installing licenses
Test Services licenses are installed from the Licenses option in the OpenLab Control Panel Administration tab. Install the license before running a licensed test. If the number of licenses is insufficient, contact Agilent support to obtain additional licenses.
The OpenLab CDS 60-day startup license is not sufficient to run licensed tests in Test Services. Specific Test Services licenses must be purchased and installed.
Retiring a server
If you want to retire a server, uninstall Test Services so the Test Services license is returned to the pool of available licenses.
License feature names
Test Services uses the same licensing subsystem as OpenLab CDS. In the license file:
