I'm in the UK, using the Keil C51 toolset, and the Triscend E5. Being in Europe (or, should I say, outside the USA?) I have to use a "dongle" (hardware key) with the Keil tools. Far from being transparent, the Keil dongle seems to significantly mess-up the communication bewteen the parallel port and the Triscend JTAG. Keil's knowledge base article http://www.keil.com/support/docs/1788.htm suggests that this may not be an uncommon experience. Has anyone else experienced problems with the Keil dongle - particularly in connection with the Triscend E5? Any tips?
Yeah.. and it is amazing what you can do with a disassembler and a little effort *hint* :) I mean, I paid for the software already, why should I mess around with some silly dongle protection? That is no way to treat your paying customers, if you ask me!
