Why this..Options have been disabled due to restricted license?

[bernoulli]

I have been having problems using both the Flowcode 6 & 7, which I have licenses for them. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flowcode 7 to see if this would resolve the issue. It did not.

I noticed in the compilation phase of the project that the following message was provided, "Options have been disabled due to restricted license
Visit http://www.microchip.com/ to purchase a new key." I am using a PIC24FJ chip. I have licenses for the PIC8, PIC16, PIC32, among others.

I believe last year was the last time I used the program prior to porting over to Win10. When I used it last, everything was fine. Any idea why the error message is there and how I resolve it?

Here is the compilers output:

Hi, bernoulli

Code: Select all

Options have been disabled due to restricted license

just means the free version of the XC16 compiler is being used.
Therefore you can't use optimisations that's only available for the professional paid compiler.
It's nothing to worry about.
It also has nothing to do with your Flowcode licence.
