License File problem

I downloaded a new license for my machine (Win XP) but CCS4 is not accepting it. It says "An error occured attempting to acquire a license for this product". Please let me know what I can do to get this working. I have verified that the host ID in the license file and on the computer match. Any suggestions? B.J.
  • Hi B.J.

    What kind of license do you have (floating? node-locked? platinum or mcu?)? What is the name of the *.lic file?

    Thanks

    ki

  • Node-locked, free platinum (for the XDS100 emulator).

    File Name: TMDSCCS-HWN01A-v4.0.lic

  • Anything folks? I am dead in the water on CCS 4 right now...
  • Hi B.J.,

    Could you try forcing a search of a new license and see if this helps: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Licensing_-_CCSv4#Q:_How_do_I_change_the_license_that_CCS_is_using.3F

    Thanks

    ki

  • So, based upon the other info in that FAQ, I just manually copied the new license file into the "ccsv4\DebugServer\license" directory, and it just worked. So basically, the UI provided by CCS was broken on my machine.

    Thanks for the help.

    Best regards,

    B.J.
