These real-time kernels and services software seamlessly integrate with CrossCore^® Embedded Studio.

Licensing

CCES License Types / Definitions: A node locked license locks the CCES software to a single PC using the computer’s MAC address. Each node locked license is tied to a single user, but can be loaded on up to four machines. A Node-1 license is a single user license and a Node-5 license is a five user license where each user can use the software on up to four machines. A corporate domain license (CORP) locks the CCES software to any computer on a specified corporate network (e.g. ad.analog.com, spd.analog.com, etc…) There are 10, 20 and unlimited user versions. (CORP-10, CORP-20, CORP-UNL) Customers should purchase the license type that reflects the number of users that are concurrently developing with CCES. There are no restrictions to the number of machines corporate licenses can be installed on, as long as they are connected to the specified corporate network.

An EZ-Kit license ships with applicable EZ-Kits. It behaves exactly like the node locked license except it only works with the EZ-Kit and emulator it ships with. It does not support a simulator target. An EZ-KIT license is included with EZ-KIT evaluation boards for the following parts: ADSP-21569, ADSP-BF706, ADSP-BF707, ADSP-SC573, ADSP-SC584, ADSP-SC589 and ADuCM3029.

Maintenance Policy: A CrossCore Embedded Studio license includes one year of updates, upgrades and lifetime support. The optional annual maintenance provides access to updates and upgrades released during the maintenance period. Updates released after the maintenance period will not run until maintenance is renewed. Renewing maintenance provides instant access to all previous updates. Annual maintenance is 20% of book price for each license option, for additional information please Contact ADI. Proof of purchase of the original license will be required to process a maintenance request.

For VisualDSP++^® Customers: Your existing VDSP++ license(s) will not be disabled when upgrading to CCES. Customers should contact their ADI sales office or local distributor from whom they purchased VDSP++ for CCES pricing.
