Any one seens this error...SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION

In TA for the PID, I put the PID that came inside the Windows XPe Studio
kit. Is that the wrong PID? Is there a different number I'm supposed to
get from my MS OEM?

I recieved the error when FBA.exe started.

Thanks
Jason
 
Jason.

I am assuming that you entered your Windows Embedded Studio Key, this
is for installing Embedded Studio Only. You need to enter a key that
came with your COA (Certificate of Authenticity) to activate your
embedded image.
 
Where would I find that number? Is that something that is seperate of the
kit that contains the install cd's for embedded?

When you purchase run time licences you get a COA (certificate
of authenticity) sticker for each licence. On the stickers is a number.
You need to use one of those numbers and put a sticker on each
device.

Hi Jason,

You purchase COA's as part of the run time licensing from embedded
distributors. there are 4 of them, if you contact me OL I can get you more
information (shameless plug goes here) :-)

LOL. I read that as "There are 4 stickers" and thought "I'd better get
in quick before I miss out".

<ROFL>
there are lots of stickers, only 4 companies that sell them, though :-)

Yeah, if there were only 4 stickers, we might have a problem...

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the input guys.

Ok, now let me get this straight, I need a Run Time Image License that I
enter into my SLX image within the Advanced settings section ..the field
entitled Run time Image Licensing (PID). Once I get that number I just have
to stamp the image once and be done. The eval copy label on the desktop
will be gone.

The COA stickers are to be placed on pc somewhere. That COA number on the
stickers does or dose not need to be entered into the OS? I'm assuming the
does not have to enter any COA numbers.
Also do I go through the company I bought the embedded kit from to get the
run time license and COA stickers, and do I need to purchase all COA
stickers at once?

If I can't go throught MS OEM, then whom can I turn too, to get what I need
to make this offical.

Thanks again,
Jason

That is all correct. You have to sign an OEM agreement with Microsoft
before you can purchase runtime licences (COA stickers).

The agreement is supplied by your XPE distributor, as are the stickers.
You can purchase any number of stickers.

Jason,

I see one point that may still not be clear:
The COA stickers are to be placed on pc somewhere.
Yes.

That COA number on the stickers does or dose not need to be entered into
the OS?

Does not.

To Follow on to Mike's Statements-

#1 - The Stickers no longer come with a PID on each Sticker... there's a
serial number on the sticker, but in the package you get with your Sticker
purchase, there will be a card with the PID. You only have to enter the PID
once... you can duplicate as many times as you like after that. Just make
sure you have a COA for each device you ship.

#2 You don't have to purchase the Stickers from the same person you
purchased the toolkit from. your Embedded CLA will allow you to purchase
from any of the 4 distributors. There are agreements that you put into place
where you have to name who it is, (the Third Party Installer, for instance)
but that's not relevant to this conversation.

#3 So to sum up this highly confusing topic :-) you do have to enter the PID
into Target Designer, but only once. You do have to place the sticker on the
device somewhere. (I have seen this in any number of places... on units that
use SSD, I have seen it on the CF module, I have seen this on the rear of
the unit... Refer to the Additional License Provisions for XPE for placement
guidance). You don't have to buy them from the same person you bought the
toolkit from. and no, you don't have to buy them all at once... there are
discounts for volume... Talk to the distributor you choose about that.

HTH,
JC

Hi all,

I'd like to believe its this simple, but I havent had any luck getting
the licensing to work.

I have the COA executed properly and have obtained the stickers and the
cards with a PID from a vendor. I have successfully completed and
tested an evaluation build.

When I enter the PID from one of the cards into Target Designer and
build I get no errors or warnings. Yet during the initializiation of
the target at first boot I still get the "SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION"
error sometime after the setup flags are accessed.

I'm using 2GB compact flash cards as my disk. I verified that the size
of the boot partition is 1953Mb using fdisk, so this is what I have
entered in Target Designer. I entered 32768 as the cluster size
(verified with chkdsk).

I have installed only XPe SP1 components and have applied QFE #888506
as shown on the PID card from Microsoft.

What else is there to do? Incantations of some sort ?!

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Ken
 
try increasing the Setting of HDD in TD to 5GB... there's a known bug out
there, that will throw that licensing error if the Physical size is set too
close to the setting in TD...

HTH,
JC
