To run tests, have the correct license keys installed.
Runtime license examples
The trial licensing key allows you to run Rational Performance Tester for 30 days from the initial installation. After thirty days from the first time you install RPTv8, the trial license expires. The trial license allows you to run HTTP performance tests with up to 5 virtual users.
For other protocols except for SOA, the trial license allows you to run tests with a single user. The trial license for Rational Performance Tester does not allow you to run tests using the SOA protocol.
Number of virtual users you can use depending on the license keys you have installed...
