    Saki,

    Yes if you hit the register button it will prompt you for an activation code as it assumes you have purchased a copy of CCS and are ready to activate your license.  If you are looking to continue using CCS in evaluation mode there is a 90 day evaluation extension available.  You can get that here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/FAQ_-_CCSv4#Q:_Where_is_the_link_to_the_90_day_eval_license.3F

    Saki,

    Can you attach your license file as well as the licenselocation.txt file (both are in the \ccsv4\debugserver\license folder)?  Also are you running CCSv4.1.3 or CCSv4.2.0?

    The most common cause of that error message is when using a Stellaris IDK that uses a different type of board locking than what is supported by CCS.  However in your case that shouldn't be happening as the eval license will work with anything.

    Regards,

    John

    Saki,

    The license attached isn't the 90 day eval license it is a license that is restricted for use with specific development kits.  Basically it has a feature CCS_CONNECTION_RESTRICTED versus CCS_CONNECTION_ALL which would be in the eval.

    Delete this file from your \debugserver\license folder. Go to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/FAQ_-_CCSv4#Q:_Where_is_the_link_to_the_90_day_eval_license.3F

    and follow the steps and it will email you a 90 day eval license that will work with your board.

    John
