Jtest 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 when license.use_network is set to true.
• 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.
• server_edition: Functionality configured for high-performance usage in server command line mode.
• custom_edition: Functionality can be customized.

To configure the network license, specify the following settings in the .properties file:

1. Set the jtest.license.use_networkproperty to true.

2. Set the jtest.license.network.type.

3. Set the jtest.license.network.edition.

4. Ensure that the connection with DTP is configured; see Connecting to DTP.

Local License

To configure the local license, specify the following settings in the .properties file:

1. Set the jtest.license.use_networkproperty to false.

2. Set the jtest.license.local.passwordproperty with your password.

Obtaining the Machine ID

If you are using a local license, you will need your machine ID to request a password from Parasoft. Run the following command from the command line to obtain your machine ID: 

jtestcli -machineID
