LoadRunner 11.50 Licensing Change and Protocol Bundles

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 LoadRunner 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’
