Matrix user forums

Hello guys,

I have a professional licence for Flowcode 6 PIC and PIC16 V6.1.4.0

Using a PIC16F88 the compiler gives me the following error:

License restricted by the following files:
LasGrav18c.objRecompile the code with a less restrictive compiler license!

FINISHED

For some reason I only have the lite version of sourceboost c. I'm running the same license on my lab PC and there I have the Pro version.
Been thru the flowcode forums but non of the "fixes" seems to correct the problem.

Any idea on how to fix this ?

Hello,

Have you tried to upgrade the compiler at all, this could maybe explain the problem.

My recommendation would be to uninstall Flowcode, delete the "Flowcode 6" folder from the Program Files (x86) folder and then reinstall and re-register.

This should hopefully solve the problem.

Hello,

I have Flowcode 6 professional and have the same problem.

I got a new PC and installed Flowcode (downloaded it for Matrix website, installed it and activated it on the matrix website).

Now I get message:

Then a lot of linker messages, and then

I did not try to update/upgrade compiler.

I uninstalled flowcode and installed it back again.
Then I run flowcode as administrator and activate the license through the matrix website.

But stil no joy, I get back the message of unregistered BoostC compiler

Could anybody tell me what to do?

Hello,

Please can you try the following.

In Flowcode 6 click on the Help -> Activate menu.

Enter your Matrix account name and password and click Activate.

The screen should go black and you should have a popup from FC_Licensing appear, click the Yes button.

Restart Flowcode and hopefully all should be activated correctly.

Let us know how you get on.

Another thing is if you have been running windows without a restart for over a month, e.g. if you only hibernate or sleep your PC then you will need to restart or shut down for BoostC to work.

I have done what you asked me twice (started flowcode normal and as supervisor).

At the end it says the key is accepted bus unfortunately it keeps saying:

Hello,

Thanks for letting us know, looking into this for you.

What version of Windows are you using?

Please also can you PM me your Matrix account username and Flowcode 6 purchase key so we can investigate things are all ok at this end.

Hi Benj,

Any chance on solving my problem?

Marcel

Hi marcel,

Can you try right clicking on Flowcode and selecting "Run as Administrator" from the drop down then trying to compile and get back to me on how that went.

Hi DavidA,

That seems to do the trick.

No limitations in boostC.

Now it also works without administrator rights.

Thank you verry much,


Marcel
