Install Floating License Server

This page relates to standalone SoapUI Pro, which has been replaced by ReadyAPI.
To try the new functionality, feel free to download a ReadyAPI trial.

Note: Make sure you get the appropriate version for your architecture. The Floating License Server can't use 32-bit Java on 64-bit systems.

Install the latest Java VM

You need to make sure you have Java VM installed. Get the latest version of Java VM http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp, and install in on the computer that will distribute your ReadyAPI floating licenses.
