Usage of OTK C++ library in Version 2.9.0 #111

Closed tmp-user-dev closed 2 months ago

tmp-user-dev commented 2 months ago

The release note of Version 2.9.0 says that some of the function start using OTK C++ rather than J-Link. https://github.com/SimplifiedLogic/creoson/releases/tag/v2.9.0

Questions

  1. Does user need to install OTK C++ in addition to J-Link?
  2. Does user need a OTK C++ license to unlock the application?

Users should not need an additional license, that is only needed by developers. The OTK C++ module included with creoson has been "unlocked" so it can be used without a license.

I don't think users need to install OTK C++ either, I think that's only for developers too.

Thank you very much for the answer.

Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

End Users (who simply use distributed application which interact with creoson)

Developers (who develops and distribute application which interact with creoson)

If OTK C++ module is included in creoson and already unlocked plus the app connects to creo via creoson only, I'm bit confused why developers additionally need to install the C++ module and its license.

Sorry, what I said was misleading, I should have said it differently --

Hope that clears things up,

That was probably too wordy.... to keep it simple: you don't need an OTK C++ license to develop apps that use creoson, nor do you need to install OTK C++.

  • An OTK C++ license is needed if you are going to develop OTK C++ libraries.

  • If you are developing your own app which uses the creoson library, then technically you are not an OTK C++ developer, you are merely using the OTK C++ library that is bundled with creoson. So in that sense, your creoson developers are the same as end users.

  • As far as creoson is concerned, you would only need an OTK C++ license / installation if you were going to modify the C++ code that is inside creoson. It's unlikely this is what you are planning to do, since most creoson developers just want to use the library as is.

Hope that clears things up,

Thanks for the clarification. Now it's clear to me.
