How can I check from CW 5.1 IDE if my license and dongle are correctly recognized

How do I check if the IDE applies the licence I think it does ( ie. code size restriction). I can start the IDE with or without USB dongle. How is this possible ?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi Peter,

In addition to Jennie answer you can refer to the post:

    How to install/use USBdongle license under Win 8.1? (Include test with CW for MPC55xx V2.7 & CW ...

you should find all info to install, use and understand how the USBDongle is running.

It seems you're using CW for HC12 v5.1.

We've some problems with this OS under Win 7 and higher OS.

See below for details:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  *********************

CodeWarrior for HC12 v5.1 on Windows 7 with USBdongle.

  *********************

I performed some tests on my side with USBdongle and found the new driver we introduced some months ago (June 2011) is

not working for all CodeWarrior development tool.

Before the new driver was introduced (so before June 2011), the USBdongle worked on XP 32 bit only.

Now the new driver support all 32/64 bit OS so Win 7 too.

Unfortunately the USBdongle is not working for HC12 V5.1 under Windows 7.

I performed some tests on my side and I was not able to launch the debugger with an USBdongle.

The problem is linked to the Flexlm version used by the debugger to manage the license.

The new driver is working for Windows 7.

If you install it, the USBdongle will work for the build tool chain only.

So you could use it to build your application.

However the debugger is not compatible with this new driver - the debugger license can not be checked on the USBdongle.

Why ?

Products built with 8.4a of Flexlm (i.e. All of the classic products) will not be able to support win 7 64-bit with USB dongle licensing.

That support was added in 11.4 of Flexlm and our eclipse products moved to 11.5.

To resume, CW for HC12 V5.1 can be used on Windows 7 but not with USBdongle.

To avoid problem we recommend to rehost the license file to the DISK/HOST ID.

  1. WORKAROUND...

To solve the problem I can propose you to add a new feature which is not locked on the USBDongle for the debugger.

By this way HC12 dev tool will use the dongle feature excepted for the debugger.

I've tried it on my side and already shared it with another customer and this solved the problem.

Before to add the feature I recommend you to check the new dongle driver is correctly installed.

To be sure you've followed the right process I recommend you to:

      - downloaded the last version from Aladdin web site: Sentinel_HASP_Run-time_ cmd_line.zip

ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/hasp/Sentinel_HASP/Runtime_%28Drivers%29/Sentinel_HASP_Run-time_cmd_line.z...

    - Unzip it and execute:

haspdinst.exe -r -fr -kp -Purge

Now the dongle driver is uninstall.

If the USBdongle was plugged, the red light switched off.

I launched the LMTools and now the Flexid is not showed anymore.

I tried to launch CW for MCU V6.3 and got an error:

pastedImage_0.png

You should get the same problem for HC12.

From Freescale web site, download the last dongle driver:

    http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01521027262444119D11A5

The file is USB dongle Driver Installer for Windows

Now launch FLEXId_D.exe, and re-install the FLEXID drivers.

Select FLEXid 9 and 10.

During the installation as my USBdongle was plugged, a message New hardware found /installed appeared and

the red light switched on.

At the end the Dongle installer propose to restart the computer.

I recommend you to select it.

To check if the dongle is correctly installed you can download the lmtools.

Please install the tool version available on our web site via the link:

      http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01521027262444119D11A5

Select the right file:

    lmtools for Windows (64-bit) or lmtools for Windows (32-bit)

Now I launched the LMTools and flexid is correctly displayed

pastedImage_1.png

Close the LMTOOLS.

Do you have the same on your side ?

To check if the USBdongle license is working I recommend you to check the default USBdongle license file downloaded from the web.

When you will launch the IDE you will get a strange message saying it’s the last day of license file.

pastedImage_2.png

Do you have it ?

This message is introduced by an issue between flexlm driver used on CW for HC12 and USBdongle.

Every time, every day you will launch the IDE you will get this message … but the license will work.

So don’t care about it.

You can remove this error message if you add the key:

FEATURE Win32_CWIDE_Limited metrowks 5.5 permanent uncounted \

00E825C5615A HOSTID=ANY TS_OK

If you’ve this message, you can try to create a project and could see the build tool chain is working but not the debugger.

Now you can add the attached feature to your license file.

This feature will unlock the debugger.

INCREMENT HI407284 metrowks 5.000 permanent uncounted 2A6C6392653B \
    VENDOR_STRING="HC12 C Debug" HOSTID=ANY ck=125 TS_OK

Hope this will fix the problem

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Have a great day,

Thank you Pascal for your detailed info.

We work on Windows XP 32 bit, so I am not sure if your instructions apply to our situation.

As I replied to Jenny, I can verify the presence of the correct license.dat ( the IDE won't start without it ), I can not verify if the dongle is recognized as the IDE starts without error message whether it is plugged or unplugged.

So I am still looking for a solution to see if our license is fully recognized. ( we haven't used it for a while and we installed the IDE on a new computer )

The reason why I want to understand this problem, is that we already had bad experiences with the freescale licensing mess: the orginal vendor who sold us the 4.5 version gave us the wrong license that stopped working after a year. We then had to prove that we did the purchase and I want to avoid any such trouble in the future.

I really would like to see a list of the products that we purchased with this license that I can print out and keep safe. I don't want to mess with driver installs/uninstalls. A product with that price tag ought to able to tell us we one keystroke exactly what the tool thinks that we have purchased. This is what is eaily done with every other IDE or licensed product that we use: get a list of what you have activated.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Peter,

You're using Win XP 32 bit.

By default the USBdongle should work fine with this OS.

All problems explained previously was introduced on Win 7 OS.

Now in some case we've experienced problem with XP and new USBDongle driver too.

However by default without any license file you should not be able to launch the IDE.

If you can launch it, it means you have a valid license somewhere under your PC.

I recommend you to perform a search for "license.dat" file under all your local hard disk and to rename them to license.dat_

At the end you should not be able to launch the IDE.

When you reach this point you can enable your dongle license file only.

With HC12 product you can check with the compiler tool for instance.

Launch the \prog\chc12.exe and click on Help + About.

Scroll down in the dialog message to have info about the license.


Have a great day,
Pascal

Hi Pascal

Thank you , the license.dat installation is easy to verify because , as you

said, the IDE starts with an error message.

However, the usb dongle is not so easy. Following your advice, I started

chc12.exe and clicked on Help + About.

I get this info:

Peter,

The Dongle is not recognized:

May be you need to use the old driver.

Attached you will find the old driver.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

To be sure you've followed the right process I recommend you to:

      - downloaded the last version from Aladin web site: Sentinel_HASP_Run-time_ cmd_line.zip

ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/hasp/Sentinel_HASP/Runtime_%28Drivers%29/Sentinel_HASP_Run-time_cmd_line.z...

    - Unzip it and execute:

haspdinst.exe -r -fr -kp -Purge Now the dongle driver is uninstall.

If the USBdongle was plugged, the red light switched off.

Install the old one Click_To_Install_Drivers.bat.

At the end, on the USBdongle, the red light should switch on.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Before to install the driver and plug the USBDongle - the first time, to avoid problem, I recommend you to switch-off your Network Connection.


Have a great day,

Dear Pascal

The link to alladin doesn't work. Because I mess with my system , I would

like to understand why the dongle is recognized by LMTOOLS ( and the red

light is on ) and not the compiler.

I find it unacceptable that Freescale is wasting customer time with this

licensing mess. After all, we spent a lot of money for the product and have

to fight yet again to simply use it.

Thanks for your help , though.

Peter,

If you can not download the file from Aladdin, it's not a problem.

You can uninstall the driver using the Device Manager.

The old Driver posted was the driver we provided for Win XP.

When Win 7 was released the old driver was not compatible anymore with Win 7.

To solve the problem for Win 7 users, a new driver was released.

Unfortunately for few customers it seems the new driver associated to Win XP generates a problem.

May be this is the problem you have on your side.

Most of the time, the first time you plug the USBDongle, the Windows updater is launched even if the driver was already installed.

In this case a more recent driver can be installed which is not always compatible with CodeWarrior.

This is why the USBdongle could be recognized by the PC but not by CodeWarrior.

To avoid this problem I recommend to switch-off the network when:

     -  you will install the Dongle Driver,

     -  the first time you will plug the USBdongle Key.

Else another driver could be used.

Have a great day,
Pascal

Ok, I now deleted manually all driver files accessed by the dongle ( the

FLEXID installer did not fully clean up during uninstallation), the dongle

LED now remains dark. Before reinstalling, I wanted to check:

- the correct driver installation software. I have FLEXId_D.exe, the

proporties pane shows a file version of 16.0.0.321 on top when I select

Version in the List below it shows: 11.9.1.0. Is this the "old" XP 32 bit

version ?

- which drivers do I need: the installer offers to install Flex 7,8, 9, 10.

Thanks for your help

FlexID is the last driver created for Windows 7.

The driver you need to install is named Dongle_Driver which was attached previously.

    please have a look to previous message

To install the old driver Click_To_Install_Drivers.bat.

So could you please provide me with a link to the executable for XP 32 ?

I've performed some tests on my side.

It seems the info provided by the Help + About could be wrong or corrupted.

Attached you will find some doc including a video showing the test I done on my side.

As you can see the USBdongle with the appropriate license file is working fine.

The license_test_project.zip contains the project example.

Peter,

I think we need to continue via SR#.

I will create a SR and will keep you informed soon.

On my Win 7 OS, the same dongle plugged using the last driver shows SafeNet too.

As you can see the same dongle with other driver is using Aladdin keyword.

I don't think you're using the wrong key but is it really the right driver ?

The attached doc gives you the driver version used too.

Can you compare them with the driver you've on your side ?

1) Thank you very much for the great video, unfortunately the problem

doesn't go away.

First, I can not open license_test_project.mcp ( it opens as xml file , not

as a project file) , but I can open license_test_project.old.mcp to which I

added file2.c to make it exceed the code size limitation. With or without

dongle, I get a C5300 error:

Error : C5300: Limitation: code size 48979 > 32768 bytes

file_2.c line 48991

Error : Compile failed

So license.dat is apparently not the problem, but the dongle is a problem.

Note that my USB device reads SafeNet Inc. HaskKey , not Alladin HaspKey

like yours.

Note: We never exceeded the code size limitation in our former projects, so

we probably never hit this problem. Your former vendor ( I think the name

was datacomm in the Netherlands) sold us a wrong license.dat that your

support corrected a couple of years ago. Could it be that they also sold us

the wrong USB dongle ?

2) I now understand why I missed your previously attached files. As you can

see in the screenshots, they don't show up in google mail, one has to go to

the forum to see them.

Can I send the dongle to Freescale Switzerland ( where we are located ) to

check if this is the correct one ?

Thanks for your help

HI Peter,

first, please perform search in your hard disk with keyword "license.dat". rename them with license.dat.bk

thus open your CW5.1 IDE, it should not open correctly because your CW can't find any license.

then install your dongle license to your CW5.1 install folder, check if the LM_LICENSE_FILE path includes the license.dat of Codewarrior, please suppress following environment variable: LM_LICENSE_FILE in the right path. The  environment variable can be setting by click "start", "settings", "control panel", "system", "Advanced", "environment variable". (See below screenshot) the LM_LICENSE_FILE should be something like: {your CW install}\license.dat

if your dongle license is installed correctly. you should be able to see CW5.1 opened correctly too.

can this help you?

Thanks Jennie

Sorry for the delay, I was absent this week.

While I can reproduce the license.dat check ( rename it and the IDE won't start ) I can't reproduce the dongle test. The IDE starts with or without dongle.

I am on Windows XP 32 bit.

Thanks for your help
