DSCOPE: DEMO MESSAGE FROM PRODUCTION DEBUGGER

Information in this article applies to:

C51 Version 5

QUESTION

I just purchased and installed the non-evaluation version of DK51. I kept the evaluation version on my disk in case there was a problem.

When I open a project which was previously built with the eval version, and launch dscope from µVision with the Run ... dScope debugger ... command, the command window in dScope indicates "Running in demo mode". When I launch it with no project open, it does not indicate demo mode.

Is there something in the project file which makes it launch the debugger in demo mode? How do I fix this?

ANSWER

There are several things that could cause this. They are all relatively easy to correct.

Check the environment path settings in the options menu (when the project is loaded) and make sure they don't point to the eval software. If they do, change them to point to the production software.
Check the PATH settings in AUTOEXEC.BAT to make sure that the eval software is not listed there. If it is, remove it.
Recompile all modules using the unrestricted toolset.
