Installation

Usually you just need a Portal Server account and to install the “Desktop Companion” on your laptop which enables you to record and upload HTTP/S sessions and to launch Measuring Agents on Amazon EC2. You don’t need a special installation license for the Desktop Companion. However, user licenses are required for using the Portal Server and to perform tests on Measuring Agents - see https://shop.realload.com/.

The Real Load components Measuring Agent(s), Cluster Controller(s) and Remote Proxy Recorder(s) can also installed/operated on your own hosted machines.

The installation and operation of an own dedicated Portal Server requires a contract with us and a special, commercial license.

The software can be downloaded from https://download.realload.com
