:evil: And let's not forget all this protection is for their benefit, not mine.Ĭomment from IAR would be nice (especially with regard to the suggested violation of another software author's license terms).Ĭolin, is there anything in the Winzip 9 evaluation licence that would prevent you from using it to unpack the IAR archive within the 21-day evaluation period?Įric, he could ditch a compiler and support agreement he's already paid good money for, and spend valuable development time installing and getting to grips with a new development environment, then modifying the existing IAR-style source code so that it compiles with GCC. IAR, who are going to obsessive lengths to protect their software, are suggesting violation of someone else's software license terms, or requiring the use of a specific unzip utility that I have to pay for. Perhaps it's only me, but this really p****s me off. Which means that, in order to get a copy of EWAVR 3.20A that I have paid for through my 'Support and Upgrade Agreement', I have to buy another piece of unzipping software. However, the license terms of the free PKWARE product they suggest expressly forbids the commercial use of the product in this way (2.1.1 (ii) of the PKWARE license clauses). And you would have thought that IAR would be sensitive to such issues. My employer, quite correctly, employs a fairly strict policy of using software within its license terms. They recommend WinZIP 9 (which I don't have a copy of), or they point to an alternative PKWARE product. But to unzip the (101Mb!) installation file I have downloaded for EWAVR 3.20A, I MUST use an unzipper that employs 'hard encryption'. I just been given access to IAR's download site.
