LoadRunner 11.50's licensing mechanism has changed

If you're like me and can't wait to have the latest and greatest version of software on your machine, you should be aware that, unlike previous upgrades, LR 11.50 has been modified to requires a new license.

Since current LoadRunner users cannot continue to use their existing licenses, you will need to generate a valid new one.

To Request a License

To Request a License you'll need to:
Navigate to:https://h20575.www2.hp.com/usbportal/fulfillment/selectedProducts.do?lc=EN_US&said

Select your SAID number, click and LoadRunner under 'Products' and click 'View available products'



Select LR 11.50 and click 'Get Software Update' button



You should now have a tab option for 'Get Licensing'
