MDK-ARM evaluation limitation

Hello,

I have one very formal but the more important question. I'm using KEIL MDK-ARM v4.11 evaluation software suite and I'm not sure if the uVISION(part of suite) can use scatter file. I'm asking because there (http://www.keil.com/demo/limits.asp) is write :
"The linker does not accept scatter-loading description files for sophisticated memory layouts. The --scatter command line option is disabled"

It seems(from this limitation) that scatter file cannot be used.

However, when I'm looking into UVISION menu Project/ Options for target/ Linker tab/ Linker control string, there is wroted command --scatter with the name and path to the scatter file defined in the same window. I have done some attempts to change load region in auto-generated scatter file(rewrite LR_IROM1 start address) and download it into device. The result was that compiled code was stored on address specified in scatter file and not to address 0x0 in flash - I'm confused!

Has the evaluation version of MDK-ARM v4.11 limitation in using of scatter file or not?

Thanks for yout answer!
Regards,
Milan Muller
