Standalone install of DSS

I thought of another related question. Is it possible to use DSS in the application below with a non-xds100 emulator and without purchasing a seperate CCS license for each PC used for production programming?

Is there a standalone install of DSS? My customer wants to use DSS loadti example for production Flash programming and they need a simple install process for this. If this doesn't exist, is there a way to just copy the DSS related files from a CCSv4 installation to another PC for simplifying the install process?

Ruben,

When you install CCS one of the options it gives you is for scripting.  This will install the components necessary for DSS.  If you run DSS without a valid license it will output a message to the console but still run.

Note that they can specify 2 MAC addresses when they generate their license file.  So they could have one as their dev PC and the other as the flashing machine.

John,

Thanks for the answer. We used the custom install to only install the emulation components and we did get DSS this way, but this still installs 160MB files for Eclipse even though we de-selected the option for installing the IDE. Is the IDE needed to interact with the licensing manager? Also, the wiki article on DSS makes it seem like DSS can be installed seperately so we may want to clean up the wording to explain what you said below.
