No Valid License Key Found - Freescale Codewarrior HC08 V5.1

[FernandoValle]

I just installed Codewarrior HC08 V5.1, with updates, on my Windows Xp Pro Sp2 system (not running microsoft office...). I am using remote desktop to access this system. However, when I try to run Codewarrior, i get the following message:

Error

No valid license key was found for this version of  Codewarrior Development Studio. Please register your product by following the instructions on the registration card or by license@freescale.com.

Terminal server remote client not allowed

FLEXlm error: -103,577

Any help would be appreciated

Hello,

You cannot use Windows Remote Desktop to launch CodeWarrior.
Even with the full professional Edition (the one I use).
This is confirmed by the error message which states "Terminal Server Remote client Not Allowed".

The solution is to start CodeWarrior on the computer itself and lock the session.
Then, you use Remote Desktop under the same session username to gain access remotely.

For the HC08, actually the build tools check the license independently of the IDE at compile time.

So while starting up the ide upfront helps with the ide license, the 8/16 bit build tools will still run in demo mode (say limited to 1k (or more, depending on the core) unless the license explicitly allows to use the terminal server.
