Title: Add-in without license
Post by: amacara1 on February 01, 2023, 03:39:37 am
I am trying to register my script to EA_OnContextItemModified event. Is it possible to create and deploy an add-in without license? From what I read in EA documentation, it does not mention this option :(

Whether or not the add-in requires a license is up to you as license developer.
You can develop and deploy an add-in without having a license for EA, but you wouldn't be able to test it.
You cannot run EA without a license for EA, so there's no way for you as a developer to know if it works or not.

But is it possible to create the add-in and register it in the 30-day trial version, isn't it?

Thank you for the replies. I do have license for EA, but reading documentation I understood my add-in would also require a kind of license.
Actually, I would like to be able to use a JScript (stored in a MDG) to listen and act on EA_OnContextItemModified event - could I do that, please?

There is a new model-addin feature that uses Javascript, but I don't think you can store such a model-addin in an MDG
Regular scripts can't use the events.

You need either your own add-in, or EA-Matic.
But anyhow using add-ins doesn't require any kind of extra license; unless you would want that, and programmed it into your add-in.
