Licenses
iC5000 introduces a new licensing model. As with all iSYSTEM tools, winIDEA license is required. Valid
winIDEA license also includes iSYSTEM technical support service, and can be requested either by phone or by
e-mail
.
Besides winIDEA license, at least one CPU architecture license is required in order to connect to the target
microcontroller via debug interface. Advanced functionalities such as trace, profiling and code coverage become
available via trace license. Make sure that the target debug connector to which ic5000 system connects, exposes
microcontroller trace port (ETM, Nexus …) when trace functionality is required.
iSYSTEM development tools feature a hardware based license scheme, which saves costs comparing to per-seat
based licenses. All licenses are kept in the iC5000 development system, which conveniently allows moving
iC5000 unit from one development seat to another.
When new iC5000 system is shipped from iSYSTEM, CPU architecture and trace licenses are preprogrammed
by the iSYSTEM test department. With such a new system, only winIDEA license needs to be requested from
iSYSTEM after receiving the iC5000 system. Additional CPU architecture license, which are purchased later,
must be programmed by the user.
Below picture shows the sticker, which can be found on iC5000 system, identifying which CPU architecture
licenses were preprogrammed by the iSYSTEM test department. Below picture shows preprogrammed Cortex-
M3 and MPC56xx licenses.
