DS-5 licensing issue

Note: This was originally posted on 2nd July 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I encoutered problems with my 30-days licensing of DS-5.

I'm working on Altera  SoC FPGA devkit, my computer is running with Ubuntu 12.04, and I launch elcipse (after having launched Quartus, because I don't know if it's needed or not).

I get a licence.dat file from silver.arm.com, with my HostID, refered to my eth0 card.

I put this file in Help -> ARM Licence Manager. I also see the local server from LM_LICENCE_FILE. One must notive that there is "no toolkit available" in the "Select the toolkit that you intend to use".

Then in "Debug configurations" of Eclipse, I can see my USB Blaster II, wich is the correct connection for debug. But when I try to debug, I get this error message :

e arguments:  -pluginCustomization /home/p1215579/.ds-5/workbench/pluginCustomization.ini -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.platform.ide

Error

Thanks in advance for your help,

    You should try generating a new license using the activation code from http://ds.arm.com/al...a-eval-edition/ in the ARM Licence Manager dialog.  I expect you will need to choose the Altera toolkit in that dialog.

    I think the evaluation license you get from silver.arm.com does not include connecting to the Altera USB Blaster.

    Also I don't expect to see LM_LICENSE_FILE used nor a local license server for a DS-5 eval license; I suspect those were setup for something else on your machine.  But I don't expect them to do any harm.
