File limit for CW for HC08 microcontrollers V6.0

Nouchi — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 22:20:47 GMT

Hello,

This document makes me confused about file limit, It doesn't talk about that.
Because I tried to add severals files and CW told me :
" Project Error : 202049 This IDE is not licensed for full functionality, etc.........".

Is it a documentation problem, or I need to register to have SE full functionality?

Hello,
I could imagine that the error message you describe comes if you have not following key in your license file: Win32_CWIDE_Unlimited.
If you have only the 'limited' (and not the limited) key, then the IDE has a limit around 32 files and does not allow you to create sub projects. From my special edition key I do have above unlimited key in the license.dat file. Could you check if you have it it too?

In the license.dat automatically installed I have the Win32_CWIDE_Limited.
I did not register or do anything else.

Hi,

I have Win32_CWIDE_Limited too, but the compartive table doen't mention that.
This CW SE increased C code size (16k -> 32K), but the file limit is the same.
If you use Processor Expert, the limiot is quickly reached

32 files per project limitation was removed with V6.0, but the license file was not updated. The new Special Edition license file (including feature Win32_CWIDE_Unlimited) can be downloaded from the CW for MCU V6.0 WEB page.

I've stayed with CW3.x for my 9S12 and HC08 projects because I was given one of those 'special' licenses for my 9S12 project that allowed unlimited files. I write in assembly so I didn't need the full feature license.

Keeping everything on CW3.x was only for consistancy so that I could have the same development system for everything. I didn't upgrade CW because I didn't want to have to get a new license for my 9S12 projects, which were getting quite huge. (I fill a 128K part)

But if CW6 removes the file limitations, I wonder if it's time to consider an upgrade across the board for both my HC08 and 9S12 projects?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

You can upgrade your previous CodeWarrior Special Edition license files.
Simply append "Win32_CWIDE_Unlimited" feature extracted from
CW HC08 v6.0 SE license to your license.dat file:

FEATURE Win32_CWIDE_Unlimited metrowks 5.9 permanent
uncounted 8AEDAEE5CC12 VENDOR_STRING="CodeWarrior IDE 4.2 or
later, Windows" HOSTID=ANY ck=190

Then restart the CodeWarrior and 32 files per project limitation should be removed.
