Program Overview
Micro Focus is announcing obsolescence of the Controller license model for LoadRunner Professional and LoadRunner Enterprise. Customer subscriptions will be migrated to the corresponding Foundation license model at the time of renewal of the subscription.

We are making this a forced migration in order to simplify our licensing model. LoadRunner Professional users will be able to split their Virtual User licenses across many controllers within the same site (unless the Country or Worldwide Addon is purchased). LoadRunner Enterprise users will no longer have a limit on concurrent runs.

Media and License keys

Both LRP/LRE Foundation Licenses include a SiteScope license to be used with the LRP/LRE software only. If you are installing SiteScope version 11.30, you can install the SiteScope for LoadTesting option which comes with the 25 OSI license and you do not need to request a SiteScope license key.  Both LRP/LRE foundation license version 2020 or higher provides a 300 OSI license key for SiteScope version 2019.11 or higher, and the new SiteScope license key can be requested through the Software Licenses and Downloads portal.

LRE Foundation license also includes unlimited (999) LRE Controllers license and 5 ALM Performance Center Edition Lifecycle User licenses for version 12.6 and prior.  You can get the new license keys through the Software Licenses and Downloads portal. Prior to installing the new Lifecycle user license key, you should remove the existing key obtained from the old PC Controller License bundle to stay license compliant.

Should you need a license key for Web 2.0 licenses, resulting from the migration, you can get the new key from Software Licenses and Downloads portal once migration is completed.

 

Micro Focus is committed to providing the highest level of customer care to you while you determine your future strategy for LoadRunner Professional and LoadRunner Enterprise, and will provide support as indicated by the key program dates above.
Our goal is to provide you with a clear visibility into the support time-line of software products, enabling you to use this information to plan, test, and deploy new product versions.
