License Problem with P&E USB Multilink Programmer

MichaelA — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 23:02:59 GMT

Hey,

We have been using the SofTec HCS12X Starter Kit to develop our software, and now we have our own hardware, and need to program the HCS12X on our own Hardware with the P&E USB Multilink. It works with programs under 1kB, but after 1kB, I get a license error thats as follows:

Feature 'HI407238: HC12 P&E ICD TArget' is running in demo mode!

To get an evaluation license, please send an email to license@metrowerks.com

maximum code size is 1024 bytes

Where can I check in CodeWarrior if everything is installed correctly. We have the licenses to all of this, but always get this error. Any suggestions on where to start concerning this error? There a phone number I can maybe call to talk to someone about the license issue.

The SofTec board programs just fine with larger applications, but the error comes only when trying to program through the P&E.

Thanks,

Michael

Hello

Can you please do the following:

- Start HI-WAVE and make sure you activate the Multilink connection
- Select Help -> About
- Can you please check teh content of the text box. What is written there?

Are you using a special edition, a standard edition, ...

Have standard edition. Pretty sure Multilink is enabled, because I can program the microcontroller just fine, as long as the program code is under 1 kB (but our larger program that needs to get loaded onto the hardware is well over 1kB).

Here's whats in the about box - license numbers blurred out for security (don't want to publish that on a forum...)

Hey,

I finally got a response from Mertrowerks - I had to add a line to my license.dat to enable programming with the P&E. Works fine now.
