How to apply renewal code on registration?     A- Annual subscription   An annual subscription is valid for 1 year (12 months). The license files associated to an annual subscription will expire the end date defined to the registration. To continue to use it you need to purchase an annual renewal code and apply it to the registration. This will change the end date to current date (today) + 12 months. Then you need to re-generate the license file.   For single seat (Nodelocked or 1 floating), please have a look to:                 http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/codewarrior-development-tools/licensing-and-registration/licensing-and-registration-faq:CW_LICENSE_FAQ#12   For multi-seat, please have a look to:                 http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/codewarrior-development-tools/licensing-and-registration/licensing-and-registration-faq:CW_LICENSE_FAQ#29   Attached you will find a video showing you to apply a renewal code to annual subscription and how to get the new license file.     B- Permanent subscription   A permanent subscription as an end date too (1 year). The end date is just to determine the tool versions you can use, have access to. The license file associated to the permanent registration will not expire. It’s permanent one. If a new version of tool is released the July 1 st and your registration expired the May 1 st , you will not have access to this new version. In this case you need a valid registration and so need to purchase and apply a renewal code which is not the same than annual subscription.   For single seat (Nodelocked or 1 floating), please have a look to:                 http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/codewarrior-development-tools/licensing-and-registration/licensing-and-registration-faq:CW_LICENSE_FAQ#11   For multi-seat, please have a look to:                 http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/codewarrior-development-tools/licensing-and-registration/licensing-and-registration-faq:CW_LICENSE_FAQ#28   Here you can refer to the video attached.

How to merge several license files in 1 file?     I’ve created 2 videos showing/explaining how to generate a license file for several products in same time. The doc explains the process to: Download multiple NL license files for different products based on 1 registration Download multiple Floating license files for different products based on 1 registration and how to merge them in 1 file.     Note: If you have several floating registrations and want to merge the license files in one file, the process is similar to 2. You must copy all license files in 1 file and keep only the first 3 server lines. The other must be commented by adding a # as explained above.

How to install/check if my floating license file is running ?                                                   + Known issues for CW for PA V10.4, CW for MCU V10.6, CW for HC12 V5.1, ...       Most of the time the “Product Licenses” is working fine but there are some cases where the information provided in the Product Licenses dialog are wrong. This is the case for: USBdongle license file is used for NL, Floating license file.     What’s about the Floating License file ? A Floating license requires a PC defined as server (which can be a client too) and other PC(s) defined as client(s).     How to install a floating license file ?   A client has 3 ways to contact the server (in fact the service running on server): Using license.dat file – same file used by server and client Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host  (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port@host) Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host  (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port-daemon@host)     On server side On server you must have a service managing the floating license file. You must download the Flexlm tool available on web site: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=CW_LICENSE_FXDL_LMI   Please have a look to the documentation for more details: http://cache.freescale.com/files/soft_dev_tools/doc/brochure/FLTLICINSTWINBR.pdf   The license must be locked on the Server DiskID (vol C:) or HostID. You can check if the license is running by: Server Status + Perform Status Enquiry, Server Diags + Perform Diagnostics     On Client side The client has 3 ways to contact the server but only 1 of these ways must be used. Sometimes the 3 ways are running and sometimes only the port@host or port-daemon@host can be used. This is directly linked to your LAN structure.     How the tool is checking the license ?   Case A: By default the tool tries to find the license.dat in the installation folder. It could be C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.4.0\PA\license.dat -> this is the first way   Else if a LM_LICENSE_FILE or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is defined, the system will check all variables defined in this environment variables. Here there are 2 ways to define the license.dat.   Case B: If the license.dat is not placed in the default folder (Case A). You must set the environment variable. For instance the license.dat is placed in C:\Freescale\license_all\license.dat You should have: LM_LICENSE_FILE=C:\Freescale\license_all\license.dat or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=C:\Freescale\license_all\license.dat   Case A and B required than the same license file used by the server is used on the client.   Case C: No license.dat file is used on client. Using LM_LICENSE_FILE or METROWERKS_LICENSE_FILE environment variables allow you to define a server and a port. This information must be compliant with the license file defined on server. Example of license file: SERVER My_server_name 00123456789A 1710 Server Name: My_server_name Port: 1710 To access this server you must use: LM_LICENSE_FILE=1710@My_server_name or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=1710@My_server_name   Case 😧 Now depending of your LAN, this is the case for complex architecture (different subnets, access via VPN, etc),the Case C (as case A & B) could not work. The solution is to define a port on the daemon. Extract of new license file: SERVER My_server_name 00123456789A 1710 VENDOR metrowks port=27000 To access the license file you can use port-daemon@host LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@My_server_name or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=27000@My_server_name   Most of the time we recommend to check floating license in order: - Case A, - Case B, if it's not working then you can try - Case C, - Case D.     How to check if a license file is running ?   For floating license, the info provided in the License details could be corrupted. You can have a message saying the license file is not found or not running whereas the tool is working fine. The information is not really relevant for Floating license. The right way to check if the license is running is to: - open/create a project, - build the project. On the server, the log file captures all accesses done to the service If there is an issue, the problem will be captured in the log file.   The log file contains lot of information to understand what is the problem (If there is one). To generate this file, on the server, launch lmtools and select Config Services tab. Inside "Path to the debug log file" field define a file as - for instance CW for PA v10.4: If the C:\FSL_FlexLM\license_PA_10_4.log is already generated, I recommend you to: - stop the service, - delete the log file via explorer, - re-start the service, - reproduce the problem on client, - try with an example project requiring a license file, - stop the service.   Open the log file to check how the floating license file is used.       Specific trouble for CW for PA V10.4 & CW for MCU V10.6     Under PA V10.4 for instance when the port@host environment variable is used and the service is running on server, when we launch Eclipse we get a wrong license information: According to the message the license file is not found.   For MCU V10.6, the Help + Freescale Licenses menu is not available. PA v10.4 and MCU V10.6 using port@host protocol gives you the same message than if no license file was used/defined. It seems the Product is not detect when the LM_LICENSE_FILE Environment variable is using port@host.   Most of the time the license file is running fine. Is there a way to check it ?                 ……….. YES, generate the log file as explained above.   You can use the project examples for CW for MCU V10.6 and CW for PA V10.4 provided in the                                 https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-105542   Attached a video showing the behavior when port@host is used with CW for MCU V10.6       Specific trouble for CW for HC12 V5.1   As explained above a client has 3 ways to contact the server:      - Using license.dat file – same file used by server and client      - Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port@host)      - Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host  (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port-daemon@host)   We used the following configuration:           Server: Win 7 64 bit           Client: Win XP 32 bit           CodeWarrior for HC12 v5.1 using a project requiring a suite Basic or higher (attached license_test_project.zip - using the simulator)   Description Using the license.dat or the LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host, we can build the project but not debug it:      - When the IDE is launched, we got a message “This is the last day …”      - We can build the project without problem. The license file is reconized      - When we launch the debugger we got an error saying the debugger is running at demo mode. If we check the log file generated by the server, we see the client is asking for compiler and linker keys but no entries for the debugger key. If the Server and Client is the same PC, the license is working as expected. The problem occurs only when the server and client are different PCs   Solution: We found the LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host is working. The IDE is launched without message (This is the last day …) and we can build and debug an application without problem.

Get “LM_NOTTHISHOST" license error message     A- Description   Most of the time the “Product Licenses” is working fine but there are some cases where the information provided are wrong. This is the case for: USBdongle license file is used for NL, Floating license file.     What’s about the USBdongle ?     Under PA V10.4 for instance when the USBDongle is plugged and the license file correctly installed when we launch Eclipse we get a license information: According to the message there is a problem with the USBDongle or with the license file.   Most of the time the license file is running fine. Is there a way to check it ?                 ……….. YES.     For MCU V10.6 the error is:                 "Unknown error with key ProfessionalEditionMCU 10.5, LM_NOTTHISHOST.  "       B- Solution   For the USBdongle, we can check the license file using an example project: For MCU V10.6, we can launch the HC08compiler in standalone mode and try to build a big application (requiring a valid license).   For PA V10.4 we must use an application using Freescale tool chain (requiring a valid license).     CW for MCU V10.6                 Refer to MCU_full_test.avi attached                 Project file attached too. By default the USBDongle should work fine. However I know some customers experienced a problem similar to CW for PA V10.4.   How can we test if an USBdongle license file is running ?   The best way is to create a project using HCS08 for Simulator. For this test I will create a project and added lot of asm nop code to have a big application.   1st test: Add USBDongle license file in \CW_MCU_v10.6\MCU path. However the USBdongle is not plugged on the PC. So the license file is not running. Re-start Eclipse and re-open same project.   2nd test: Same as 1st test but I plugged the USBdongle key now. Here the license file is correctly recognized - Activated. However you could have same problem as 1st test. In this case to check the license you must build the project.   Now the project is built without any license error (even if the license information always provides wrong information).     CW for PA V10.4.                 Refer to the PA_full_test.avi attached   How can we test if an USBdongle license file is running ?   The best way is to create a project using Freescale compiler (GCC is free so more difficult). For this test I will create a project based on 8250 device.   1st test: Without no license file.   2nd test: Add USBDongle license file in \CW_PA_v10.4.0\PA path. However the USBdongle is not plugged on the PC. So the license file is not running. Re-start Eclipse and re-open same project.   3rd test: Same as 2nd test but I plugged the USBdongle key now.   Now the project is built without any license error even if the license information always provides wrong information.     Hope this will help you.   Pascal

If you are already a CodeWarrior user, you must know by now that there are a million ways to use it and squeeze all the potential out of this useful tool. One of those ways is having access to more products and licenses for the Development Suite you got. Haven't done that yet?   When  you have a perpetual suite with an active support contract, you are entitled to all the latest versions of the CodeWarrior products wihin the suite you've got and the license will never expire. However, you might have also got the anual subscription license, which will be obviously over after a year of usage (a year and a month or so )   The first step, as usual, will be to access into your Freescale account, and continue to the "Software & Support" link, where you'll be able to select the account that you will like to use if you have multiple accounts created,  after you have selected your account you will come upon all the software that you are entitled to used in your account, in there you'll get many options to get your licenses, download the newest versions of your CodeWarrior or get the latest updates and patches for your software.   This video here can show you complete details and guide you step by step with the access process       This document was generated from the following discussion: The specified item was not found.
