Is there a way to prevent test executions from leasing Premium Floating Licenses?

In our case, we have some of each type of floating license and only 1 Premium License per user, so if one test runs long, or gets hung up and a new one starts, it leases a premium license type and we have a user that cannot use Ranorex until the issue is addressed.

Is there some workaround for this? I have looked around in the documentation and the License Manager, but so far no luck.

Thanks in advance!

If you execute your tests on a specific machine, you can set that machine to only lease Runtime Floating licenses. On that machine, run the Ranorex Licensing Tool and set the "Type" for floating licenses to "Runtime" (instead of the default "Auto"), see here for more documentation.

I guess you could do the same somehow using the Ranorex API for some test execution, but I would have to look that up

Awesome. Thank you!!

I guess I overlooked that part. I must need more coffee.
