Jenkins build fails to identify Neoload license post a test execution with leased license from Neolaod Web

Dear Experts, I try to execute a Jenkins build to trigger a Neoload scenario that uses the license configured in local machine (free version of 50 concurrent users). Jenkins is also installed in local machine. However the Jenkins build fails stating that "No license file found for user". The issue occurs when this test is executed after triggering a Jenkins build to execute a Neoload scenario that leases the license from Neoload Web. (license gets leased and unleased back to Neoload Web properly). The same scenario got executed without any issues when the test was executed before the test with leased operation was performed.
Please assist why this occurs and how to overcome this. Thanks very much in advance.

I'm confused at first you talked about a FREE license version and then you mentioned a lease of license on NeoLoad Web. But the latter can't be with a FREE license as it's not a shared license.

You said that it worked before but was it with your FREE license?

What is the jenkins output of your job so we can see the command line that is called by your job?

With the free licence, the default behaviour is licenced by machine (on windows) so you shouldn't see any user errors, assuming somehow your licence is per user profile (maybe linux is per user)... the user running Jenkins/node and the user your are using to run the test manually, are they different accounts? typically jenkins deployments use a dedicated user to run services... this user might not have a licence installed

Yea, The issue was with the user profile. The user running Jenkins/node and the user your are using to run the test manually, are different accounts. It was re-installed with admin with same user and it now works fine. Thank you very much
