How to use Free Trial?

I have downloaded and installed the Arm Development Studio Gold Edition Free Trial on Windows.

The installer gave the following error:

Do I need to worry about that?

When I run the GUI and attempt to build an example, I see:

18:40:58 **** Build of configuration Default for project calendar_Armv7-A_AC6 ****
make all 
armclang -c --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -mcpu=Cortex-A9 -mfpu=none -g -O1 calendar.c -o calendar.o

Do I need to install a trial license? If so, how do I obtain one?

  • Hello. I've never seen that install error before, I suspect it is occurring when the hardware drivers (for DSTREAM family) are installed. If you see issues, you can install these manually.

    As for the evaluation license, yes, you can generate this from inside the IDE. Go to Help > Arm License Manager > Add, and follow instructions to generate and install the license.
