hi ruby,
different architecture needs different CW IDE version support. HCS12 MCU is supported by CW for HCS12(x), starcore is supported by CW for startcore DSP, etc. each CW IDE use each license. for example, the CW for HCS12 license can only for for CW for HCS12(x). it can't work for other CW IDE.
regarding to your second question, yes, you can merge several licenses to one license.dat file. see this thread:

can this help?
Have a great day,
Zhang Jun
