Forum Topic - "License Warning" when booting : (6 Items)
   
"License Warning" when booting  
I used the x86 Runtime Kit to install Neutrino 6.3.2 to my embedded PC.  I have a valid runtime license which I entered 
and it works fine.

I then built my own image (actually just used the smp build file within the IDE).  The system boots fine but I get a 
warning "No valid commercial license found".

I have searched with no success.  I did notice a build file which "license" included (finstall.build), but I'm not sure 
what this does (and haven't found any documentation on it).

What do I need to add/do to my image so that it recognizes my license?

Thanx!
Tim
RE: "License Warning" when booting  
Hi Tim,

You're getting the warning because the diskboot (and other components) that
ship with the development environment are licensed, where it's not on the
runtime kit. While the warning won't prevent you from booting, to get rid of
it, you'll need to rebuild the image using the Runtime Kit.

In /x86/boot/build, there should be the qnxbasesmp.build file, and assuming
you've installed the multicore package (formerly the high end bundle), you
should be able to rebuild the image. If you haven't installed the multicore
package, you can do so by inserting the CD after boot up and executing
'qinst' according to the ancient rituals:

cd /
qinst d /fs/cd0/repository/qnx6-target-smp.tarx | tar -zx -f- 

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
-Brian

Re: RE: "License Warning" when booting  
Thank you.  That answers another question as well.

When I try that I get an error about licensing.  Apparently I'm not licensed to use qinst?  My x86 Runtime Kit CD only 
offers me the standard bundle or Custom.  With Custom I did not get an option to install for multicore.

I have a runtime license as well as a development license - what am I missing?
Re: RE: "License Warning" when booting  
qinst seems to be looking for /etc/qnx/bin/qnxactivate which doesn't exist on my system.

Any idea what this is?

Thanx
Tim
Re: RE: "License Warning" when booting  
Ok, looks like this activates a license, which should not be an issue for me (I have already done that.)

Is there better documentation for the runtime kit than the couple of pages shipped with it?

Thanx again.
Tim
Re: "License Warning" when booting  
I still haven't solved the qinst problem, but after speaking with a QNX engineer the diskboot problem has been resolved.


The diskboot used on the runtime kit does not require licensing while the version installed with the IDE does.  By 
copying the version from the runtime installation over the IDE version and rebuilding the image all is well.

FYI...
