SERIOUS problem with CW 5.0

peblink — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 06:57:39 GMT

Hello, I used to work with CW v3.1 but i decided to upgrade to CW 5.0 (eval)but i had a serious problem when i installed CW 5.0 because it deleted some important system files in my PC and i couldnt start it anymore so I had to restore everything and it was really awful.

Anyway, I wanted to work again with CW v3.1, but now my code is a bit larger than the one allowed by the original license (1k, my actual code size is 1043 bytes)I kept a license that allowed larger size but now it doesnt work anymore (When I start CW it tells me i need a license)

Can you please help me? As you can see I dont want to use v5.0, I cant risk another computer blow. I attached the license i got about 2 yrs ago for larger size

Thanks a lot

Hello Peblink,

May you please give some details on how CW5.0 is supposed to have crashed your computer by deleting system files......?

In my department we have roughly 20 installs of CW5.0 from CW3.1 and have no trouble whatsoever (with the installation I need to stress).

Therefore please tell us which file was supposedely affected so the CodeWarrior team can react on this "SERIOUS" accusation/problem !

For your license problem. I see it is a special eddition license (Free). To be sure you have a correct one, I advise you to go to codewarrior.com website and ask for a Special Edition License for CW3.1. You will be sure not to have a corrupted file.

The license text should be appended to the content already present in "license.dat" at the root of the installation of CodeWarrior. The text already present should not be removed, you just add the text at the end of the file.

Regards,

Alban.
