Supported Licensing Schemes
The IxLoad TestComposer functionality is subject to the following three levels:
- Basic
- Device Configuration
- Advanced
A license verification occurs each time a CmdTool, COM, SSH, IxEmail, Telnet, TL1, SNMP, Syslog, and Reporter session connects to a configured test device, and remains checked out until TestComposer exits.
– For node-locked licenses, if a license is found at session connection time, this means that the session can be used on that particular host.
– For floating licenses, if a license is found session connection time, the number of available licenses is decremented by a unit for the remaining duration until TestComposer exits.Setting up a license server and configuring the license type is done using the Help > Licensing command of the IxLoad client host.
Using the IxLoad Licensing window, you have the option of installing the TestComposer license on either a chassis or a standalone license manager host:
– On Chassis: If you installed the TestComposer license on a chassis, you need to select this option.
– On Server: If you installed the TestComposer license on a standalone license server host, which could also be the local IxLoad client machine, you need to select this option. In the Server field add the name of the machine (or localhost). In case your licenses are installed on different machines, this field contains a list of hosts.
