This error occurred when I started debugging a simple program using MDK Lite Ver 5.38.0.0. From the error message two issues are apparent: The licence file is missing and the location of the licence file is expected to be under the C:\Program Files folder. My installation of MDK Lite is under a folder called C:\Keil_v5 which I think was the default folder suggested by the installation program.

Hi again Rex,
From your other thread, is this issue resolved by using the VHT* models?
Regards Ronan
yes thank you
Sorry Ronan - spoke too soon. I followed the link that R. Kopsch sent me to request a licence but the page rejected my device ID. I'm using a Windows PC with a device id of 645A4F71-D773-458A-8C1A-90416214BBC4. I also tried entering just an alpha string as a test but this also failed. The link R. Kopsch sent me was https://www.keil.com/MDKEvaluationRequest/
Thanks again.
Hi Rex,
That doesn't look like a CID:https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ka002857/latest/
I initially used the Windows device ID: Settings -> System -> About. Hence the long hex string. After following the link in your answer I was able to download and install the licence file.
Thank you.
