I need some clarifications about Sonarqube community edition licensing.
Editions comparison web page "http://www.sonarsource.com/products/editions/" say that the community edition is "Single Technology".
I'm not sure to really understand this. Does it means that on community edition I will not have right to install Java and C# plugin on a same instance of SonarQube server ?
Or perhaps I can do this, but will have restricted features in comparison of Enterprise Edition ?
Regards,
Laurent.
You can install all the community language plugins you like under the Community Edition. What this page is saying is that you're more likely to be successful running without support in small, simple environments, such as a mono-site, mono-language development environment.

I am analyzing SonarQube to use it for our closed source product which is mostly .Net and web technologies.
Are there any caveats to using community edition for commercial projects?
What is the limit on the lines of code that community edition can scan?
SonarQube Community Edition is free of charge without any LOC (Lines Of Code) limitations. You can use if freely in your commercial project.
My question is What is difference between Visual Studio Express Edition for Desktop and
Visual Studio Community version?
I want use VS to create Desktop apps, currently I have ultimate version of VS2013, but I think mentioned versions are lighter and faster and FULL FREE for me because I don't use most of developing features like Team server or Testing tools or IntelliTrace, .... I want know the mentioned versions have full Windows API Support (Header files definition) like Ultimate/Enterprise versions?
Don't forget my first question: VS Express for Desktop vs Community, because both are FREE.
Community edition is the full fledged software, but you can't use it on enterprise (>5 users)
On the other hand, Express editions can be used in enterprise environments, but does not let you use plugins.
So in the end, as far as I can tell the choice is between plugins and enterprise. If it's just a product you are developing yourself, or an open source software, Community edition would be your best bet. On the other hand, if you want to try out the latest version at your work for free, then Express edition is for you.
Here is from the "source" :)
Differences between Visual Studio Community Edition and Express Editions
Here is a quote from that MSDN blog:
There are two main differences between Visual Studio Community Edition
and the Express Editions
1) Visual Studio Express Editions do not allow users to use extensions
(aka. plugins). There are over 5000 great plugins for Visual Studio
in Visual Studio Gallery. Plugins such as Developer Assistant can
boost developers’ productivity. Unfortunately, they are not available
to Visual Studio Express users. With Visual Studio Community
Edition, you can access and use All of them!
2) Visual Studio Express Editions are targeting specific platforms:
Express for Web allows you to develop Web apps; Express for Windows
allows you to develop Windows apps; Express for Windows Desktop allows
you to develop desktop apps. But with Visual Studio Community
Edition, you can develop projects targeting cross-platforms.
Community is like a full version of Visual Studio Professional, only they don't allow you to develop for commercial purposes (through the licence agreement). With the exception for developing apps that you sell in the Windows Store.
Why you would want Community (dito for VS Professional):
You can develop a mix of different projects in the same solution on the same IDE. With Express you develop asp.net and other web apps (Express for Web) in different IDE's than you would developing a Windows Forms applicaiton (Express for Win Forms).
You get full access to plugins that enhance the IDE, like code optimisation tools.
Other than Professional, Community is integrated with a lot of online collaboration sites. Like integration to GIT repos and Windows Azure hosting.
Express is like the old school express versions, if you used to use the old school express versions, you probably want to stick to it. It allows for commercial development, but they restrict the features of the IDE. And they make it harder to use by splitting the IDE to only handle Web Applications (like ASP.Net) in one IDE and a different IDE for handling Windows Forms. (In the past they also split the Win Forms IDEs to only handle one coding language like C# or VB).
Here is the official comparison
I think IntelliTrace is the most important part missing in the community edition. Cloning the repo some similar things are missing. but I don't think those are any real problems.
What are the limitations of VS2010 C# Express Edition compared with the paid for versions? I was mostly looking into what sort of applications I can build, in VS Express I only have the option of Console, Winform and DLL, etc. I read that you can build services and add - ins for office programs, is this functionality available in Professional/Ultimate etc versions? Thanks.
There's a comparison chart here - You'll need VS Professional to develop Office Plugins.
Although previous version, there is a definitive overview of the VS2008 Express limitations in in this SO Question
Wikipedia also explains the differences.
Edit
The comparison chart link is dead. For 2012:
Visual Studio 2012 (Web Only) comparison is here, and in this Programmer's post
This SO post addresses the Desktop comparison.
The Express edition does not come with, nor does it grant you permission to distribute, the Microsoft C++ runtime redistributable packages. So the users of the software you build with the Express edition will have to download & run the installers themselves.
I used to have DevPartner Profiler Community Edition installed on my machine, which was free to use indefinitely and was compatible with Visual Studio 2003.
After I have rebuild my machine and downloaded a newer version (version 8.1) of the software, it turns out it is actually a 45 day trial eventhough it is still called a Community Edition.
I have tried looking for an older version, but haven't been able to find it.
Could someone help me out please?
Billy, Compuware retired the Community Edition profiler years ago and pulled it from any web sites. That profiler was used as a marketing tool. Folks were supposed to use the profiler then request an upgrade to the full DevPartner Studio suite. Because that didn't really pan out they yanked down the profiler. Under Micro Focus, you can now obtain the full suite but license just the profiler at a much lower price point than the full suite. I suggest you look at http://www.microfocus.com under MF Developer at the different offerings. Shameless plug: I work on the DevPartner team. We are releasing our 64-bit profiler editions in version 10.5 on February 4, 2011. Check out the download eval once its posted.
I am going to develop one application using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition specially in c#.
Actually this a commercial application for One of my client. Is it legal to sale this application for me and also for my client. What are limitations of this edition for commercial purpose...please help.Thanx in advance
Please see the FAQ:
Can I use Express Editions for commercial use?
there are no licensing restrictions
for applications built using Visual
Studio Express Editions.
In this spirit - you can use the VS 2008 Express edition as well... Newer, Better, and Also Free...
