Coco Test Engine Licensing

In this section we explain when (under what circumstances) Coco's various tools need a floating license, and what use-cases are "free" (do not require a floating license).

• Running coveragescanner, cocoqmlscanner, coveragebrowser, cmreport, or cocotestengine does require a Coco floating license for the duration of the process execution.
• If there are no licenses available, these tools will block and wait for a license.
• Running a Coco instrumented program (C++, C#, or QML) to generate execution reports does not require a floating license.
• coveragescannertcl requires a floating license to run, and it is used to execute instrumented TCL programs, so that means running an instrumented TCL program does require a floating license.
• Test Data Discovery requires an executable that is instrumented by coveragescanner but does not require a license to run it.
• A target program (or unit test program) does not need to be instrumented by Coco to run in Test or Learn mode.
• Running unit tests or target programs that use Coco Test Engine macros (in any mode) do not require a Coco floating license.
