After a SCA scan I get a "[error]: Your license does not allow access to Fortify SCA for Python"

[gsman1]

There is no python code in my project though.

Had this on e JEE project (Java, JSP, JS) & on a NodeJS project.

Is SCA stumbling on something else and incorrectly reporting a Python related error? If so, on what?

Could the vendor uncheck the "solved" status of this thread?  It is not solved.

Same here.

Just running sourceanalyzer -version gives me the error.

This is after a scan that gave me the same error, so I don't know if something's hanging around that causes this, because it's weird.

Here is what I found internally, regarding SCA 18.20.

<<This is a known issue (bug 192054). Fix will be in a future release. Users can safely ignore the error since it’s totally benign.>>

Here is another posting with more details for 18.20.

Having the exact same issue with the exact same version of SCA and Java. I found this post as I was searching the error in quotes. I very much agree that this should not be marked as solved and is still an issue.

This thread was marked as Solved several years ago when it first occurred.  Someone reawakened the thread for SCA 18.20, but the status remains.
