Create and Activate an Offline License for Katalon Studio Enterprise

requirements

You must have an Account Admin role and a KSE Online License to perform this action.

This guide demonstrates how to generate an offline license file from the Katalon portal and use it to activate Katalon Studio Enterprise.

What is a KSE Offline License?​

A KSE Offline License grants its owner access to Katalon Studio Enterprise without an internet connection.

By default, a KSE License is per-user and requires an internet connection. If you need to use KSE offline, create an offline license from it.

Doing so converts the state of your KSE License from online to offline - you can't use the license online until its offline duration expires. Create a KSE Offline License only when you intend to use the license on a single machine.

Steps to create a KSE Offline License​

Important
  • You can't change your KSE Offline License's expiry date once created.
  • You can't revoke or reassign the KSE Offline License to a different machine once created.
  • After creating a KSE Offline License, you cannot use the license online on another machine.
  1. Navigate to Admin Settings > Account > License Management.
  2. Select the KSE Hybrid tab and click the Create Offline Licenses button.

My KSE Offline License expires, what's next?​

Once expired, the state of the KSE license goes back to being online and no longer binds to one account/machine. You can either:

  • Use the license online as usual
  • Create another KSE Offline License from the online license
