need to make sure that the integration UFT-APLS is supported for using this configuration:

Feature is only working in UFT 14.02 and later versions and when using APLS 9.3.2 and later versions.

Steps to configure license auto release interval at Server side:

1 - Navigate to the server data folder - ‘C:\ProgramData\HP\HP AutoPass License Server\AutoPass\LicenseServer\data\conf’
2- Edit the ‘HPE UFT.xml’ file (Make sure to modify HPE UFT.xml).
3- Add the following key before </properties> tag closes in mentioned file.
   <entry key="autorelease.interval">2</entry>
4- Restart the APLS service.

 

Important:

The line:

<entry key="autorelease.interval">2</entry>

Defines the number of minutes, with no keyboard or mouse input, after which UFT or LeanFT releases the currently used concurrent license. So in above example license will be realeased after 2 minutes with no keyboard or mouse input.
