This topic explains how to set the license.

  • You must accept the Parasoft End User License Agreement (EULA) to use C/C++test CT. To accept the EULA, change parasoft.eula.accepted from 'false' to 'true' in the example below.
  • Be sure Parasoft License Server or Parasoft DTP is deployed in your organization.

To license the cpptestcov compute command, create the cpptestcov.properties (or cpptestct.properties) configuration file with the license settings:

# Accept the Parasoft EULA to use this product
parasoft.eula.accepted=false

# Use local license
cpptestct.license.use_network=false
cpptestct.license.local.password=<LICENSE>

# Use network license - be sure to configure License Server or DTP below
cpptestct.license.use_network=true
cpptestct.license.network.edition=compliance_edition

## For network license retrieved from License Server:
license.network.url=<HOST>:<PORT>
license.network.use.specified.server=true

## For network license retrieved from DTP Server:
dtp.url=<HOST>:<PORT>
dtp.user=<USER>
dtp.password=<PASSWORD>

The cpptestcov.properties (or cpptestct.properties) file should be placed in one of the following locations:

  • The cpptestcov or cpptestct working directory
  • User home directory
  • C/C++test CT installation directory (<INSTALL_DIR>)
  • Another location explicitly specified with the -settings flag:
    cpptestcov compute -settings /path/to/cpptestcov.properties

Hints:

  • To encode (encrypt) plain passwords, use the cpptestct encodepass command. An encoded password can be put directly into the settings file (.properties).
  • To generate the machine id (required for a local license), use the cpptestct machineid command.
  • No labels
