LFN license KEIL MDK 5.27 and above

Galuski

Hi,

I read that the Microsoft patent for LFN (together with 8.3) did expire, but I'm not sure about that.

In the "License Agreement MDK v5.27 and above" I can't find a related section anymore, as I can in "License Agreement MDK v5.26 and below".

Does this mean, I can now freely use the LFN option in the file system module?

Any feedback is appreciated.

    Dear Mr. Kopsch,

    thanks for your reply.

    The page, you're referring to, just tells me that the KEIL MDK supports also LFN support. I already know that.
    I can't find a note regarding the legal part of using it there.

    I thought, you (ARM) might have deeper knowledge on the legal part of using it, since there's no section in your license agreement anymore.

    For now, I read your reply that I'm allowed to use it without the need to have it licensed by Microsoft.

    Thanks a lot
