This page provides information about how licensing works in Ranorex Studio. It explains which licenses are available, how to install and uninstall them, and how to transfer them.
Licenses
Ranorex Studio offers flexible licensing options to suit various needs. In this section, you’ll find detailed information about the primary license categories: Perpetual and Subscription. Each licensing model provides distinct benefits, and understanding the differences will help you choose the option that best aligns with your requirements.
Perpetual licenses
- Node-locked license: Node-locked licenses are bound to a single machine (host), which can be used without expiring.
-
Floating license: Floating licenses are not bound to a single machine. They “float” on a server, waiting to be leased by a user. When a license is leased, it becomes unavailable to other users until it is returned. Then, the license floats on the server again, ready for lease by another user.
Floating licenses are managed in the Ranorex License Manager on a machine. The machine where the License Manager is installed is called the "server". The License Manager distributes floating licenses to users automatically as needed.
Note: The licenses can be transferred from one machine to another once every 90 days from the last installation.
Subscription
Subscription licenses only have the Floating model. You can use the license on multiple machines, depending on how many machines are allowed within your license.
