My Enterprise Edition license is set to expire at the end of the month. When it expires, what will the experience be for users who use SonarLint Connected Mode?
Hi,
The developer experience is likely to be a bit mixed. SonarLint downloads analyzers from SonarQube when the connection is configured. So everyone who set up connected mode before the license expiration will be okay for a while. Those who don’t will be out of luck. But even for those who set up the connection while the license was valid are on borrowed time; when SonarLint’s local cache gets cleaned up, analysis of commercial languages will stop.
And of course, some issues are only raised on the (commercial) SonarQube side and synced in to SonarLint. Assuming you fall back to Community Edition, you’ll lose those issues on both sides.
HTH,
Ann
