Help transferring SonarServer Developer Edition license and scanning .jsp, .class, and .jar files

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,

Hi everyone,

I am new to SonarQubeServer and currently using the Developer Edition( v 2025.5 ), which is deployed using a zip file.. I installed and activated it on my personal laptop to explore how it works, but now I need to install it on my office laptop instead.

Could someone please explain how to properly transfer my existing license from my personal machine to my office machine?

Additionally, I have a few codebases that I want to analyze using SonarQube. The files are a mix of .jsp, .class, and .jar files, stored across different folders and subfolders.
Here’s the structure:

The main folder contains several .jsp files.

Some subfolders contain .jar files (for example, one subfolder has 5 .jar files).

A few directories also have compiled .class files.

I’m not sure how to run a SonarQube analysis on these kinds of files since they’re not a traditional source code project. Could someone guide me on the right approach?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

We try to keep it to one topic per thread. Otherwise it can get messy, fast. Let’s start here with the license question & you can create a new thread for the analysis question.

Your license key is based on a combination of your server ID and your JDBC URL. However, it’s more the latter than the former. You should be able to install on a server and point to the same DB and be fine. Please tell me you’re using an external DB and not something that’s also on your localhost (and especially not the embedded H2.)

Hi,

Then you should be good to go. If you have problems, then you should ping your sales contact because you may need a new license key.
