Does CCS pull a floating license with XDS100?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I have several developers that are using CCS for C28x with XDS100 debug tools. They're currently working on the free license. I also have a single XDS560v2 debug tool that would occasionally be useful to move from developer to developer.

If I use floating licenses on CCS, will CCS still pull a license when used with the XDS100 debug tool?

    Hi,

    >> If I use floating licenses on CCS, will CCS still pull a license when used with the XDS100 debug tool?
    Yes, only if you ever used that particular workstation with the XDS560v2.

    One way I can think you can workaround that is to force each workstation to "reset" to a different license and switching the licenselocation.txt file depending on the JTAG debugger plugged to it. A rough procedure would be:
    - In C:\ti\ccsv6\eclipse\ccstudio.ini, add the entry -DFORCE.REG at its end
    - Create two licenselocation.txt files (one for the Free license, one for the Full license) in C:\ti\ccsv6\eclipse and add the following:

    licenselocationfree.txt said:

    c:\Users\user\ti\.license\6\TI_CCS_Free_License.lic

    licenselocationfull.txt said:

    27000@mylicenseserver.mycompany.com

    - Create two batch files (one for the Free license, one for the Full license) and add the following:
    ccsfree.bat said:

    copy /y licenselocationfree.txt c:\Users\user\ti\.license\6\licenselocation.txt
    ccstudio

    ccsfull.bat said:

    copy /y licenselocationfull.txt c:\Users\user\ti\.license\6\licenselocation.txt
    ccstudio

    *switch "user" and "mylicenseserver.mycompany.com" with the settings for your environment.

    Calling these two batch files override the existing previous configuration and use the updated license.

    I tested it here and it worked, but please give it a try.

    Hope this helps,
    Rafael

    Thanks for the detailed answer Rafael. I'll give that a try when I get the floating license ordered.

    The ability to automatically pull a paid license when using a high end debug tool would be a welcome feature. The Wind River toolchain that I've used in the past worked like that, so we could move their crazy expensive debug tool between users with ease.

    Best Regards,
