Segger Embedded Studio always starts with license error even though a nRF52840 DK is connected.

It always complains as follows:

"

Embedded Studio could not find a commercial-use license on this computer or any attached J-Link.

If you do have a commercial-use license, but that license is temporarily unavailable, please continue to use Embedded Studio as if it were present and click Continue.

Are you using Embedded Studio with a Nordic Semiconductor device?
You can use Embedded Studio free of charge for any project using Nordic Semiconductor devices.

Hello Armin,

Have you clicked the "activate your free license" option, when prompted?
Even thought you have connected a Nordic Semiconductor Device, you will still have to input a valid license to Segger Embedded Studios.
If you click the "Activate Your Free License" prompt you will be sent such a license, for free, that you may input to Segger to suppress the license error.

Best regards,
Karl
