GENERAL: FULL VERSION BEHAVES AS EVAL VERSION

Information in this article applies to:

C166 All Versions
C51 All Versions
C251 All Versions

SYMPTOMS

I have installed the full version of the tools, however when I build my project it gives me 'code size limit exceeded'. My serial number is displayed in the µVision2 Help About dialog window.

CAUSE

There are 2 possible causes for this:

Your project was at one point built with the evaluation version and a flag is inserted into each of the relocatable object files to indicate this. When you went to the full version of the software you chose Build Target and only updated some of the relocatable object files.
Your diskette drive may not be reading all of the Add-On Disk files correctly.

RESOLUTION

Choose Rebuild All Target Files from the project menu to update all your object files. You only need to do this once for each project that you previously built with the evaluation version.
Try installing the tools on a different PC. If your target PC is on a network, find another PC with a access to a network drive common to both PCs. Use the new PC to copy the contents of the Add-On Disk to a folder on the network drive using the MS-DOS XCOPY command. Start the installation from the CDROM drive on the original PC and when prompted for the Add-On Disk, point it to the folder on your network drive containing the files of the Add-On Disk.
