Downgrade license for CodeComposer 5

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODECOMPOSER

Hi,

we have small projects going on that shall use a code size limited license of CodeComposer version 5. We also have big projects every now and then and use a floating license for them.

Is there a way to switch the license type of a code composer installation between "code size limited" and "floating" as needed or is the upgrade to a floating license a one way operation?

Thanks for any help,

Bernhard

    Hi BB,

    Why don't you install 2 CCS at different locations? This will not only isolate your projects but as well the licensing.Yes, necessary disk space would be utilized but then its all for good.

    Hi Bernhard,

    you can do as Gautam suggests.  Otherwise you can manually go to Help->Code Composer Studio Licensing Information and in the upgrade tab select "Launch License Setup".

    I would make sure you record your server information/setup first!

    Hi Lisa,

    I tried the way you described, already. Once I have configured Code Composer Studio to use a floating license, I can not choose the code size limited license option to generate a license any more (which seems to make sense). And I have no license file for a code size limited license from the time before I chose the floating license, to which I could switch.

    Maybe, when I update my not quite current version of Code Composer Studio, I will try getting a code size limited license file first and then try to switch between it and the floating license. Thank you for your help on that issue.

    I am currently using Code Composer Studio version 5.3.0.00090, which is not the latest release, as I am aware.

     

    Gautam, thank you for your advice as well, but using more than one computer for my work is not an option.

    Best regards,

    Bernhard

    Hi Bernhard,

    Gautam, thank you for your advice as well, but using more than one computer for my work is not an option.

    I'm not asking you to use 2 computers, I'm asking you to install CCS at 2 different locations ie at

    1. c:\ti

    2. c:\tinew

    So, you'll have two CCS.exe and their respective licenses and workspaces!

    Regards,

    Gautam

    Hi Bernhard,

    ok, please keep us informed.  I would strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version.  And Gautam is correct, another option is to keep 2 parallel installations on one pc.
