Doesn't release license after playing tests in Visual Studio

Post by valentin » Thu Jul 19, 2012 1:41 pm

Hi,
There are some problems with licensing.
I use ranorex integrated with VS2010. When I play tests from VS, I see (in license server tool) that 1 license is leased. But when tests are ending license doesn't released.

Close solution doesn't help to released license.
I have Floating Premium license.

Hi,

Which Ranorex/Ranorex license server version are you using?
Did you get an error/exception or did you manually kill the process?

1) I'm using Ranorex Studio and License server version 3.3
2) manually kill the process. Closing VS solve problem.

Hi,

as long as a Ranorex process is being executed your floating Ranorex license will not be released.
So, once all Ranorex assemblies are unloaded, the license will be released.

So basically this should not be an issue as long as you do not have a process which always has Ranorex loaded.

But, if use MTM (with Test Agent and Test Controller) for run tests QTAgent.exe process doesn't unload Ranorex assemblies after execution. Therefore after each execuition, I need every time stop service QTAgentProcessUI and then restart it. Is there a way to solve this problem?

The same if use Visual Studio. Process devenv.exe doesn't unload assemblies after build. Only kill process solve problem.

For my self I solved this problem by execute bat script after test
tasklist | findstr QTAgent32.exe
if "%errorlevel%" == "0" (taskkill /f /im QTAgent32.exe)
