Activating eRTOS Runtime

Follow the steps below to activate eRTOS Runtime.

To activate eRTOS Runtime:

Log in to your IntervalZero Customer Center account and download your eRTOS Runtime License.
Place the downloaded license file, eRTOS.lic, in the eRTOS Runtime installation directory. By default, this path is <eRTOS Volume Letter>:\Program Files\IntervalZero\MaxRT\eRTOS\

Note: If there is already an eRTOS license in the eRTOS install directory, you can replace it, if the old license is no longer needed, or add the contents of the new license to the existing license file. The first license found in the file will be prioritized by eRTOS Runtime, so the new license content should be added to the top of the file, above the old license content.

Important: Changing the actual license string invalidates the license.

Ideal Runtime License

The ideal Runtime license is the first valid Runtime license in the Runtime license file, eRTOS.lic. That license will be used when eRTOS Runtime is next started. It is possible for multiple Runtime licenses to be present for the same Runtime version. For instance, there might be an Evaluation Runtime license and a non-Evaluation Runtime license. To determine which license is used by eRTOS Runtime, change the order of the licenses in the license file such that the preferred license is at the top.

Note: To avoid potential mistakes when modifying the license file, it is good practice to leave whitespace between the license sections.

Deleting a License

To delete an eRTOS Runtime license:

Copy the eRTOS Runtime license file, eRTOS.lic, and place the copy on a different system than the eRTOS Runtime system.
Open the eRTOS Runtime license file copy in a text editor.
Select the license content you want to remove, and then delete it.
Save the license file.
Copy the modified eRTOS Runtime license file to the eRTOS Runtime system.
