About SES license

[tony55723]

Hi,

I have two question

Is there a Nordic version of SES? ( The download address of "first picture" cannot be used )

Second question

Is macOS also has a Nordic version?

In the third picture, I failed to input the license

Thanks

Hi,

You don't need to download a specific Nordic version of SES from somewhere, just download from where the first picture is from. It should be the same for macOS. However, earlier I experienced some problems with adding a license to the newest versions of SES myself, but it's working fine with v4.52 on my end, so downgrading to an older version might fix your problem.

Which project do you have open in SES? In order to activate the free Nordic license, you need to open a project for a Nordic Semiconductor device.The default "Hello" project that opens on the first start of SES is not configured for a Nordic device, and therefore the license will not be activated. If you haven't done it yet, please try to open a Nordic project.

Best regards,

Marte

Thank you for your reply

V4.52 has four versions，V4.52、V4.52a、V4.52b、V4.52c

Which version do you recommend?

I am currently transferring the project to SES

In addition, even if I open Nordic’s SES project

Click continue, still jump to Hello project

In the Hello project, Go to'Tools' ->'License Manager...'

This activate isright?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm using v4.52 and can confirm that the license works there, so I would recommend that one.

When you start up SES the first time you should get an option to activate a free license as in the picture below. I have notices that this isn't an option in some of the newer versions of SES yet, but you should still be able to add your license through Tools > License Manager > Activate Embedded Studio, which I see from your original post that you already have done, so the license should be there, and you only have to activate it.

 Do you mean when you open a Nordic project through File > Open Solution? Does it then go to the Hello project instead of the project you opened?

Please try to close SES and then open it again, and then open a project from the SDK you're using. Also, are you using nRF5 SDK or NCS (Nordic Connect SDK)? I'm assuming nRF5 SDK since you're downloading SES from the download page, but if you're using NCS, please let me know so I can help you with the process of installing SES and the toolchain for that, as it's different from the nRF5 SDK. If you're using the nRF5 SDK, please try the following: File > Open Solution, and open <your SDK folder>/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_blinky/pca100xx/s1xx/ses/ble_app_blinky_pca100xx_s1xx (where you switch out xx in pca100xx with the numbers corresponding to your DK and xx in s1xx with the correct softdevice).

Best regards,

Hi,

I currently use the nrf5 SDK

-----------------------------------------------

A very magical thing

Do I use v4.52 as you said?

Because double click can't open Nordic project

It's too much trouble

Thank you

Hi,

From your first picture it seems like you've managed to activate your license now, so you can just continue using the version you have installed.

You should be able to open a Nordic project by going to File and then Open Solution in SES, and then finding the file in your second picture to open.

If the problem is that you can't find the code of the project, you can find it in the project explorer under Project > Application after you've opened the project.

Best regards,

Marte
