Question:
After installing non-ADI software I now find CCES slow building my application.
===============
Answer:
This issue could be caused by the new software using the same licensing technology we incorporate into CCES, which is then setting an environment variable called LM_LICENSE_FILE. This causes CCES to initially search an incorrect path for a license, resulting in a delay at build time.
To work around this issue we would recommend that you set ANALOGD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable, which is specific to our tools, in your system. This can be done by following the procedure below:
- Right click on "My Computer"
- Select Properties
- Click on the Advanced Tab and then the "Environment Variables" button
- Under "User variables for xxxx", click the "New" button and enter the following information –
Variable Name: ANALOGD_LICENSE_FILE
Variable Value (XP machine): <Install_Dir>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Analog Devices\CrossCore Embedded Studio
Variable Value (Windows 7 machine): <Install_Dir>\ProgramData\Analog Devices\CrossCore Embedded Studio
You should now notice an improvement in the build time of your application.
