C/C++test can run on either a local or a network license. The license type can be configured in the .properties
configuration file in the INSTALL_DIR
(or another location; see Configuration Overview for details).
Network License
There are two types of network licenses:
dtp
: This license is stored in DTP. Your DTP license limits analysis to the number of files specified in your licensing agreement. This is the default type whenlicense.use_network
is set totrue
.ls
: This is a "floating" or "machine-locked" license that limits usage to a specified number of machines. This type of license is stored in License Server.
Network licenses are available in three editions that determine what functionality is available:
desktop_edition
: Functionality is optimized for desktop usage.desktop_compliance_edition
: Functionality is optimized for desktop usage and configured to support compliance with coding standards.server_edition
: Functionality is configured for high-performance usage in server command line mode.server_compliance_edition
: Functionality is configured for high-performance usage in server command line mode and includes support for compliance with coding standards.custom_edition
: Functionality can be customized.
To configure the network license, specify the following settings in the .properties
file:
Set the
cpptest.license.use_network

cpptest.license.network.type
.Set the

cpptestcli -machineID
Machine ID for Cloud Environments
If you are using Azure or AWS services, you need to configure the cloudvm
option in the .properties
configuration file to ensure that your machine ID is properly calculated. You can set the option to one of the following values:
azure
- Enables integration with Azureaws
- Enables integration with AWStrue
- Enables integration with the automatically detected cloud computing platformfalse
- Disables integration (the default value)
If you set the value to false
or if the option is not configured, integration with Azure or AWS is disabled.
