Hi James,
Seems the license file has some limitation, so is possible the license locked to the dongle is not being detected and you are working with a demo version.
I would need to see the license file and know the device and CodeWarrior version you currently use.
I invite you to enter a case in our new community so you can share your license there
To submit your case into the new system, please follow below steps:
1) Go to http://www.nxp.com/support/sales-and-support:SUPPORTHOME.
2) On the bottom of the page under Submit New Issues, click Hardware & Software.
3) Register with your business email to access NXP technical online support.
4) A verification email will be sent to your account. Click the link embedded in that email to verify your access.
5) On the NXP online support page, select Contact Support from the top menu and click “submit a new case” to start the process.
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
