DS-5 bsp compiler 5 license

Note: This was originally posted on 1st July 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi All,

I just applied for a DS-5 Eval License to compile my code on ARM.
I get the following error and am stuck. Incidentally, my fellow  developer also has this tool installed with the same Eval license which  he had applied over 3 weeks ago and it seems to compile just fine on his  System. Has there been any changes to the tool now that some features  have been removed henceforth??

Here is my error:

ARM C/C++ Compiler, 5.03 [Build 76]
Error: C9932E: Cannot obtain license for Compiler (feature compiler5) with license version >= 5.0201305
No such feature exists.
Feature:    compiler5
License path:  /opt/DS-5/license.dat:/home/tbase/.ds-5/licenses/DS-5 Professional (30-day Evaluation).lic:
FLEXnet Licensing error:-5,357
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation,
available at "www.flexerasoftware.com".

Thanks a lot.
Note: I applied for the license via Eclipse ARM License Manager. My DS-5  is installed in the /opt/DS-5 directory on a linux Ubuntu system.



Regds,

    What do you see in the Help > ARM License Manager... dialog?  In particular is there a warning icon and/or information in the tooltip for the license file?  Is there a toolkit selected in the popup menu at the bottom?

    You can also look in /home/tbase/.ds-5/licenses/DS-5 Professional (30-day Evaluation).lic check the date on the 'INCREMENT compiler5' section.  Or perhaps just attach the whole file to this thread.

    There is no warning icon. Seems to work well. I can also import the ARM examples which get compiled with that license.

    The date of expiry is july 31st. But my code throws error while getting compiled. It uses certain TZ flags. I am not sure if the latest Eval Version has withdrawn any support for this :(

    So, let me make sure I understand; are all of these true?
    - you're building in Eclipse on a Linux host
    - the example projects build fine
    - your project fails to build with the licensing error message given earlier

    Old question:  Is there a toolkit selected in the popup menu at the bottom [of the ARM License Manager dialog]?

    New questions

    Can you copy and post the information from the Diagnostics pane of the ARM License Manager dialog?

    In C/C++ Build > Environment, is "Append variables to native environment" selected or is "Replace native environment with specified one" selected? If "Replace ..." is selected you'll need to add an ARM_DS_TOOLKIT_KEY with "ds5eval".

    Please look in the Properties > C/C++ Build of your project that doesn't work:
      What is the Builder type?
      Is "GenerateMakefiles automatically" checked?

    It would be useful to know the full armcc command line and, if you are not using automatically generated makefiles, to modify the Makefile to dump out the environment ('env') so I can see PATH and the license management variables.

    The eval mechanism in v5.15 and recent eval licenses has changed, but the eval is meant to be fully functional.
