That makes perfect sense. Can you provide a small example database as
part of the package? It's best to exercise as much of the code of
package as reasonably possible in tests and examples. If not, leaving
\dontrun{} in is indeed the right choice.

Thank you for clarifying that. It may help to follow the example of the
'Rblpapi' package <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Rblpapi> in
specifying the license covering the package as a whole. In particular,
you need to ensure that CRAN has the right to redistribute Redatam DLLs
as part of the binary packages they compile. I'm not seeing a license
covering the downloads at https://redatam.org/es/aplicaciones or
https://redatam.org/en/software.

Good luck! For best results next time you have a question, please
provide a link to the latest version of the package source code.
