TestArchitect Client
When TestArchitect starts up, it looks for a license server to verify the product’s license information. If you are launching TestArchitect for the first time, you are prompted to supply the location of the license server.
- If you have a trial key, select Use a trial key, then enter the trial license key that you received from the TestArchitect sales team.
- If you or your organization has a TestArchitect license account configured on a License Server machine, obtain the license server name or IP address. Then, select the “Use a license server” radio button and enter the server name or IP address into the License Server dialog box.

If the specified license server is reached successfully, the provided contact information is stored. From then on, when you launch the client, this prompt is no longer presented.
If at some point in time you need to change the license server information, in TestArchitect Client, select License Server from the File menu.
