Commercial Licenses for eValid No Longer Supported

Effective 31 July 2022 eValid Commercial Licenses will no longer be supported.

eValid Commercial Licenses provide for a "pay-as-you-go" capability to run eValid playbacks -- typically for website monitoring purposes -- independent of the location or setup of the machine executing the test.

Playback executions are charged on a per-test basis.

As flexible and convenient as this is, to accomplish the authentication required additional web traffic and eValid server activity to provide immediate verification of the license.

Effectively, this process used was generating, in real-time, an on-demand one-off authorization for each eValid playback.

This produced additional web traffic that has been deemed undesirable.

For our customers, existing eValid Commercial License(s) will be converted an appropriate standard eValid license(s) at no charge.

Regular eValid licenses authentications are done internally to the playback machine and do not involve any web traffic for authentication.
