Lost my license -- again!!

I reloaded CCSv5.3. I have a license file located at a location in the path designated - actually several locations.

"The license file you are using is only valid under Code Composer Studio 4. To continue using CCS5, please update your license file. ... "

This is my license file name:TMDSCCS-ALLF01-v5.lic.

What else needs to be done?

Thanks for any help,

Pat

    Hi Pat,

    it seems CCS is finding a v4 license.  How did you update your v4 license?   One thing you could also do is rename (so that you don't have to loose/delete) any v4 license or license reference on your system.   Did you restart the vendor daemon and license server?

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    You were right. Even tho I did reload all the Flexnet tools, I ended up renaming the V4 license and now it appears to accept the license.

    Thanks, Lori

    Lisa,

    I was looking in the wrong place. Now the license statement is in the lower left corner and I was expecting it on the top header. I still am not licensed.  I have renewed my license. I have tried reinstalling the license server. 

    Running lmtools.exe and checking server status, I get:

    Status -------- Flexible License Manager status on Tue 3/26/2013 14:12

    [Detecting lmgrd processes...] License server status: 27000@pharris-PC     License file(s) on pharris-PC: licenses\tidspssw\TMDSCCS-ALLF01-v5.lic:

    pharris-PC: license server UP (MASTER) v11.10

    Vendor daemon status (on pharris-PC):

     But when I check the license information, it tells me that "The desired vendor daemon is down"

    So, what do I do now?

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Hi Pat,

    I would need details on your setup.   Did you restart the damon when changing to the v5 license?  Aside from the new file, did anything change in your setup and am I correct in assuming the v4 license was working fine.  It is only since the upgrade?

    Have you gone into windows and stopped and restarted the license services? 

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Lisa,

    My problem may have to do with the fact that I am moving my development from a WinXP machine to a Win7 machine and I suspect the problem is that I haven't rehosted as yet. My dilemma is that until I am certain that everything will run on the Win7, I hesitate to transfer the license. Will CCSv5.3 run properly on a WinXP?

    Pat

    Hi Pat

    1 - your license must be tied to the servers MAC address.  If you changed the server pc/mac you need to rehost otherwise you can not continue using the license

    2- CCSv5 is officially supported (as on our site) under win xp

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Okay, I will try to get 5.3 running on XP and then see if the new PLC firmware will run, then transfer everything to 7 and cross my fingers.

    Thanks,

    Pat
