Hello SonarQube Community,
We’re using SonarQube 9.9 Community Edition but recently switched to the Developer Edition (9.9) to explore its advanced features under a 14-day trial. After configuring the license, I attempted a (POC) analysis on a project with approximately 28,295 lines of code (LOC). However, I received this error:
“The last analysis failed because it would have caused your server-wide lines of code total to exceed your 5,000,000 limit.”
The License Portal also shows a message:
specific project has around 28,295 lines of code, the total LOC on the SonarQube Developer Edition is 9,500,817, which exceeds the 5,000,000 LOC limit for your license.
Context
- Specific Project LOC: Only around 28,295 LOC, so well within the limit for a single project.
- Total LOC Reported: The Developer Edition shows 9,500,817 LOC, exceeding our 5 million LOC threshold.
- Community Edition: No issues encountered with the same project in Community Edition.
Questions:
- Why does this error appear in Developer Edition when it didn’t in Community Edition?
- Are there differences in LOC calculation between Community and Developer Editions?
