Can't get debugger license - Activation Limit Exceeded for this Key

I installed Atmel Studio 6.1 - April version with no problems.  I downloaded and installed VM beta, but when it tried to download the debug license, it appeared as nothing happened.  It returned the same window as before.  I clicked on the 30 day eval again, and I got a message " Error: The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden Activation Limit Exceeded for this Key.

When I tried to look at the Project properties,  it did not show what I was expecting.  I found the patch and installed, and the properties showed up correctly.  When trying to change the debug from none to Full, it brought up the licensing pop-up, but returned the same error message as above -limit exceeded.

In general, this extension for Atmel Studio is really going to be nice!  I've seen other attempts that just wouldn't cut it.

Also, when Atmel Studio opens, it brings up the start page where you can select a new project etc.  You should add an entry on this page for a new Arduino project.  I know you can access it via the menu bar, but it would be nice to find it on the start page.

Hi there, thanks for the note, yes I have put toooo much effort into this project but it is fun.

I will take a look at the activation window, I suspect that a successful start of the trial was not notified correctly. So subsequent attempts show the limit exceeded error.

I will email you a 30 day trial license key to test and an unrestricted key in a few days as a thank you.

. Please enter the key into the text box on the activation window and click "Activate"

Thanks very much for the report.

fyi: A license key can be added manually using "Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Application Features".

By the way, thanks for the suggestion about the start page. It's a great idea, I will investigate

This problem can happen if Visual Micro attempts to start a trial when a trial has previously already be used.

If you would like to start a new trial then please email us at trials [at] visualmicro.,com
