Hi Team,

Can we use Sonar Qube Community Version to scan the LOC for Commerial Project Purpose ?  
If not can you please provide any link where we can see the compliance for usage.

Thanks and Regards,

HI @vivekbg123

What do you want to do exactly?  
Using a SonarQube Community Edition to see how many lines of code are in your projects, before purchasing a commercial license?

Hi Carine,

We are now checking the feasibility, if we can use Community version for our Commerial project or not ? Will there be any compliance issue for the same, or need to purchase Developer edition for the same ?

Thanks

You can definitely use SonarQube (whatever the edition is) to scan “commercial” projects.  
The differences between editions are features- and languages- related.  
You can discover more here: [Download | SonarQube](https://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/)
