CrossCore license for Evaluation Kit

Hi,

Previously, ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT MINI includes CrossCore Embedded Studio (2x 180day licenses), hardware ships with a single 180 day evaluation license in the package. After completing initial 180 day trial, second one is available by upon your request to our team.

Nowadays,EZK full license included in the EZKIT package, instead of the EVAL (180days) license.

An EZ-Kit License behaves like a full license but only supports one EZ-KIT board. This means that the license only allows development for the EZ-KIT board for which it is licensed. The license does not allow the use of the simulator when debugging applications. The developer must use the emulator and their EZ-KIT board to debug applications.

If a user has both an EZ-Kit license and a FULL license then the user shall have the privileges that accompany the FULL license and will be able to develop for the full suite of processors supported by CrossCore Embedded Studio.For the EZK license, maintenance package is not supported. In the other word, the EZK customer cannot update CCES version after one year.

The EZ-Kit license provides unlimited access to CrossCore Embedded Studio but restricts what the customer can use.Like the FULL license the EZ-Kit license does not expire and is subscription based. It supports both the MAC address and disk serial number locking type but does not support corporate licenses. Custom targets are not supported by an EZ-Kit license so the user has to have their evaluation board connected to the computer and do their debugging on that hardware.EZ-Kit Licenses do not support the ADI simulators as debug targets.

Can the IDE still be used with the eval board and is just not eligible for software updates, or is it useless and unable to flash the board without purchasing a full license?
>>Yes, you have to purchase full license after the license expires,to continue CCES updates. Also, please note you can continue to use CCES even after the subscription has past, the only limitation is that you will be unable to use any updates.
