It's the first time that I'm using the VisualDSP++, and I've already had some problem to register it. I ran the installation program and filled the license field with the serial number that was written on the CD. After that, I was asked to register online to have another number to finish to install. I've received the number and the register was completed correctly. After the message of right installation has apeared I tried to run the program, but another message didn't allow me to go on, it said the registration number isn't valid. I think the problem could be because I've installed the program in two different computers so, is it possible to be that the problem? What can I do to run the program in any computer? |

You need a floating license. Search www.analog.com for floating license and see what's required.

AFAIK, Floating Licenses are more expensive, and they are supposed to be used with the tools installed in a central computer (server, maybe?), and workstations connectig to it. Sometime ago I read, I don't quite remember exactly where (maybe here, maybe an e-mail from ADI), that the one-user (one seat) license scheme allowed you to install the tools in up to around 3 computers, so you could install it both in your laptop for on-the-field coding, and your PCs at work (for working!) and at home (for playingwith those DSP toys, maybe). What you'd had to do is to repeat the serial number request process, in order to get the 3 license.dat files, that allow you to run the tools on 3 different computers. Beware that the process has to be run from the computer where the tools are being installed, and will be used, because the process gathers some info from THAT computer, and sends it to ADI, in order to get back a license file for THAT computer.

I did check as I was curious and Jaime is right. On page 1-10 of the "VisualDSP++ 4.0 User's Guide" it states that the user can install and register up to three copies of a "Single-User" license.

Hi, Good to know that. As far as I recall, it works this way since VisualDSP++ 2.0. Maybe many of us have missed the fun (overhead, maybe??) of having VisualDSP++ registered in several (up to 3) computers at a time.
