CW debugger on Win7

[rlw]

Anyone having any luck running CW 5.1 for S12X on Windows 7 using the FlexLM dongle?

After several interations of un- and re-installing CW 5.1 and the FlexLM drivers and tools, I finally got the compiler and linker to recognize the dongle, but I still can't get the debugger (nor the IDE) to recognize it.

(At my company, we are in the process of migrating to Win7 from XP.)

Under Win7, it just gives the warning that it is running in demo mode and can only debug upto 32k of code. (Under WinXP, the debugger does not seem to care if the dongle is plugged in.)

FYI, I have put in a support request, however, the staff seem to be as stuck with this last bit of the problem as I am.

Did you try to install not to Program Files? In my case node locked license didn't work properly until I reinstalled CW to c:\freescale. Before I did this, I tried to edit permissions and gave full control to everyone for each file in program files\CW-install folder. But this didn't help.

In Win7 there's some new odd feature. If application tries to write some ini and maybe other files to Program Files subfolder, (which is read only and has some permissions restrictions), then ini files go not to Program Files subfolder, but somewhere in user/application data. Then, when application accesses those settings files in Program Files, access is redirected to files in appdata folder. I'm not sure about details of how this redirection works, but It can be the case that some paths to license file are redirected to appdata and some - not.

It is installed to C:\Freescale\CodeWarrior_for_S12X_V5_1

We installed this way on WinXP, as well (We are migrating to Win7 and I am part of the pilot group).

Did you ever solve the problem?

Last status update I got was that new drivers from Flexera are expected. I ust checked and the drivers on the website appear to be the same as the ones I have.
