Why am I getting a "Licence is in an invalid state (Needs fixing)" error or a "Repair License" message?

Applies to: ARM Developer Suite (ADS), RealView Development Suite (RVDS), Tool Licensing (License Management)

This problem is generated by the license protection mechanism used in the evaluation version of the ARM tools. The only way to continue your evaluation is to request a replacement evaluation CD and install the tools on another PC.

Note: this limitation does not apply to the full version of the ARM development tools.
