Code Composer license status shows "unlicensed" in lower left hand corner

Phil,

Debugging will not be functional until the license issue is resolved.  What type of license did you purchase?  Note that if you purchased a floating license then you need to setup a license server.  For node locked licenses placing the license in one of the default locations that CCS looks should enable it to find it.

Could you attach your license file?

Have you checked that the MAC address in the license file matches with one of the MACs of your network adapters?  On windows you can run ipconfig /all to see that information.

Regards,

John

John,

Glad to hear this may be my issue with the debugger. I've been trying to resolve that for several weeks now.

I'm a single user so I would expect it was a node locked license. Our IT department did the install. I did verify the directories that the license manager all (there are two default and one IT created) had the license file present. The license file is pasted below.

Phil,

The type of license that you have is a single user floating license.  This is a license that is intended to be setup on a license server and then shared by multiple users.  In order to use it you have to setup a license server.  If no one else is going to be using this license then I would suggest we swap it out for a node locked one.  If you want to do that I can send you a private message with an activation code that will enable you to generate a node locked license.

Regards,

John

John,

I think what you suggest is good short term. I do have a laptop which for field testing would be helpful to have CCS on it for times when a networked server would not be available. With the node locked license, would it be possible to have a license for the desktop in the office and the laptop for the field? I believe I saw something to that effect while searching for answers on this.

Even if that's not possible, let's go ahead and get this PC setup to run on the node locked license. I've been stuck on this for a couple of weeks.

Phil

John,

Thanks for your help. That worked.

Phil
