LIC-07DICOMKIT_LICENSE_FILE

What this test proves

A license file named by DICOMKIT_LICENSE_FILE must be used, for deployments that copy a .lic file next to the app.

How it is tested

  1. Activate the Pro key with the shipped dicomkit-activate.exe 1.0.1 into a temp file: activate - --output <temp>\license.lic --yes
  2. Start a new process with DICOMKIT_LICENSE_FILE pointing to that file, no key and an empty license state folder
  3. Use LicenseOptions.DefaultLicenseFilePaths() without the machine-wide Activator location
  4. Pass if Status.State is ActivePro and DicomFile.OpenAsync succeeds; the file is deleted afterwards

Expected result for each license type

  • Pro: Works
