Which License to use?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Hi, I'm a newbe here as well as to TI LaunchPad boards - received the MSP-EXP430G2 board couple months ago and the Stellaris EK-LM4F120LX board early January. My question is - may I use the same computer, installed with CCS (ver 5.3.00090) plus MSP430ware (ver 1.30.00.15) AND the StellarisWare package (SW-EK-LM4F120XL-9453) to play with both boards? Which license in that case should I select - the Free or the MSP430-code size limited? Would I hae any problems compiling and debuging programs on both boards (of course, not connectd simultaneously at the sane time)?

Thank you in advance

Hi Mac,

as my colleague mentioned, there have been multiple discussions on this already.

Basically a full license covers you for both sets of hardware. Otherwise you can use the free license for Stellaris and code size limited for the msp however this requires either a couple installations or else in v5 dynamic license switching via Help->Code Composer Studio Licensing Information->Upgrade Tab ... "Launch License Setup".

Best Regards,
Lisa

Thank you for a quick response. Yes, I've seen that menu option for switching over Free-MSP430 licenses, but was not sure if I could go back and forth between them easily? Are there any restrictions/limits on the numbers/frequency of switching between license modes?

Otherwise I'll consider installing two separate CCS instances, at least until I'll be ready to buy a full license...

Best regards,

Mac Ha

Hi,

No, there is no limitation in the number of times this can be switched - although in practice the constant switching may start to become annoying... (at least for me it is).

Cheers,

Rafael
