License cost for local env

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hello

We are developing a C++ app for commercial use.

Do we need a license to run a scan locally on a developer’s PC?

PS: Not sure if I am in the correct category.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Self-hosted, C++ analysis starts in SonarQube Server, Developer Edition($), which requires a license. However, C++ analysis is included in all SonarQube Cloud plans, including the free one, which also allows some private code.

Hello

Thank you for the reply.

I will check clud version for sure.

However, it is not always possible on our side. Does any other option exist for a free local check? IDE plugin, build server, local binary, …

Hi Mikl,

Actually, I was forgetting that some flavors of SonarQube for IDE support C++ out of the box, and the others do so in connected mode.

Hello

So, the plan is:

  • will use the IDE plugin at the beginning
  • in near future ove to free cloud
  • and plan to buy a license in the future

Thank you.
