If you have installed Rencore Code (SPCAF) on a Windows VM and the Challenge code is missing when attempting to activate the license, as shown below:

If you have recently purchased a license for SPCAF or recently activated your license and are still getting the "Free Header" (see below) when viewing a report. There are a couple of things to check:

There are several reasons why SPDisposeCheck, CAT.NET, or FXCop are not recognized by SPCAF. Below are the main causes, ways of checking if it is the cause, and of course how to rectify:

Note: Please note that Rencore will no longer provide updates for SPCAF integration into SonarQube. SPCAF version 7.6.0.0. is the last plugin available, support will continue as we continue to support SPCAF version 7.6.0.0.
