Hi,

What should I check to fix this?

My test environment:

  • I am using Windows Console (cmd.exe) not using Eclipse.
  • Windows7 - the detail information is attached.
  • My configuration information is in 2nd column of the table

    I have found a article from ARM information center, but, it won't help.

    FLEX error -5: No such feature exists

    This error means that a license file was found, but did not contain a license (valid or invalid) for the feature you are trying to use.  Typically this will be caused by: 

    • Trying to use a feature which is an optional add-on for which you do not have a license
      For example multi-core debug support in RVD was an optional add-on in RVDS 2.x. Trying to connect to more than one target simultaneously would lead this error message being reported
    • Corrupted license file
      It is possible that part of your license file has been deleted.  In which case you should download a fresh copy of the license from your account on the ARM website (https://silver.arm.com/licensing).

    If you possible, can you check the license file for me, the license file is attached.

    It looks that the 'feature' is different.

    my license file shows.

    'ds5eval_compiler5' but,

    my installed compiler prints.

    'compiler5', instead.

    Am I correct?

    But, why does it happens?

    I am trying to re-install the compiler. I will let you know the result.

    When I use the 'DS5 Command Prompt' installed instead, the license issue was disappeared.

    And when I use Windows Console instead,

    I need to put the flag

    armcc --tool_variant=ds5eval

    in the release note, I found the below description.

    Header 1
    When the license and toolkit are configured within Eclipse then all license managed components will pick up the license and toolkit settings correctly, both within Eclipse and within the provided DS-5 Command Prompt (Windows) or suite_exec shell (Linux). If you use a different console then you must configure the tools manually. To do this set the environment variable ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE to point at your license file, and ensure that the license managed compilation tools (armcc, armasm, armlink and fromelf) are passed the option --tool_variant=<toolkit> on each invocation. The argument to tool_variant is the type of license to use and corresponds to the prefix used by the license features in your license file up to the first '_' character. For example, if your license file contains a feature named "ds5eval_compiler5" then you must pass the compilation tools the --tool_variant=ds5eval option. Failure to set either the license location or the toolkit can result in errors reporting a failure to checkout a license, for example "Cannot obtain license for..."
