LIC-03Key from DICOMKIT_LICENSE_KEY

What this test proves

Checks that setting DICOMKIT_LICENSE_KEY is enough: an application that never sets a key in code can open files.

How it is tested

  1. Start a new process with only DICOMKIT_LICENSE_KEY set and an empty license state folder
  2. Create LicenseOptions without setting LicenseKey and install them with LicenseManager.Configure
  3. Call DicomFile.OpenAsync on ct_mono16_64x64.dcm as the first licensed call
  4. Pass if that first call succeeds; if it throws, record the reason and whether a later call succeeds

Expected result for each license type

  • Developer: Works
  • Pro: Works
  • Enterprise: Works
