Problems with the license_file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5535

 

HI:

 I installed the Code Composer that comes with the TMS320C5535 eZdsp USB kit (the Platinum Edition for 30 days). It worked fine. Now I want to use the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad then  I was requested to generate a new license file. I went through the step to obtain my license file which I save to my hard drive in one folder. Then I start Code Composer, I go to the Help Menu-> Licensing options and select the license file and it seems to be fine. Then I can compile the project but when I try to debug it ask me again for the license file and I get this error

  

 

Could you please help me with this problem. ? I need to work with both kits at the same time.

 

Thank you in advance for your help with this issue

 Best regards

Carlos L. Castillo

    Carlos,

    Unfortunately our DSP and MSP groups use different free tools models.  You can use a free license with the C5535 eZdsp that ties it to the onboard XDS100 emulator.  However that same license will not work with the MSP430 LaunchPad (MSP needs the CCS_CONNECTION_ALL feature to be in the license).  The free license that is available for the the MSP430 launchpad is code size limited.

    If you only need to use these kits for a short period of time there is an 90 day evaluation license that will work with both.  https://focus-webapps.ti.com/licreg/productactivation.tsp?toPerform=firstTimeActivation&orderablePartNumber=TMDFCCS-ALLT90A&FNOPartNumber=TMDFCCS-ALLT90A-v4.0

    If you are going to be using them beyond that you have a couple of options.  1 is to have two installations of CCS, 1 for your C55x projects and one for your MSP projects.  The installation you have now is fine for C55x but you would need to download and install the code size limited tools for MSP430 into a separate directory to use MSP with the free code size limited license.  

    Note I would also recommend installing somewhere other than Program Files (x86) as Win7 does not like applications that write to the program files directory during execution.  It may block these accesses and cause issues with CCS, especially updating.
