Our company is a very heavy user of AcuBench with thousands of projects. We also use VS Code for really test only code that still is in use in our system.  We are upgrading to Acu11 soon so I want to start playing with VS plug-in.  Is it as simple as just adding the plug-in to VS Code and opening a .pjt for a project?  Are there any required things to be installed on the machines that will be using it...for example does AcuBench have to be there or AcuGT?

 

Thanks for any help as I get started on this journey to move from AcuBench to VS Code plug-in.

That’s correct, Mr. ​@Keith Thompson .

The Visual Studio Code Extension for ACUCOBOL-GT can be downloaded from the VSCode marketplace and installed as any other extension.

You still need AcuBench 11.0 installed and licensed, because the extension uses its engine, plus the features of the VSCode IDE.

Enjoy.
