QC OTAClient dll

We have developed a QC Adapter for one of the clients using OTA API by referencing OTACLient.dll

Is this DLL redistributable?

TDAPIOLELib.dll can be generated using TlbImp.exe OTAClient.dll (with the correct paths), so IMHO any redistribution concerns should be about OTAClient.dll.

OTOH OTAClient.dll it's part of the HP ALM Client Registration (from the add-in page), so it might ease the deployment:

  • Deploys and registers ALM components on a client machine.

Of course, I expect that OTAClient.dll and any other client components are legal to use only for licensed clients of HP ALM - still searching on this topic and about the licence count influence of the custom apps using this dll.

I have never read the EULA provided with OTA API, and this is my own personal opinion; but as a hunch I would say it is not supposed to be a problem. As long as you distribute only your own binaries and non of those owned by HP.
