Remarks
When you run the Run-Time License Assessment Tool on a run-time image (.bin) file or Ceconfig.h file for a selected OS design, it displays information about the current run-time image that you are assessing, the predicted licenses for the run-time image, the SKUs that apply to the run-time image, and the included Windows Embedded Compact features for each SKU. This information is based on a determination of which Sysgen variables are set in the run-time image.
The tool also generates a report, in HTML format, that provides the following information.
- Predicted License(s)
The SKUs for which you must purchase a license. - Applicable SKUs
The SKUs that apply to your OS design. - Run-Time Image Information
The Windows Embedded Compact features that are included in the OS design, sorted by SKU. - PID stamped on the run-time image file
The PID that you obtained from a distributor.
Note
The Run-Time License Assessment Tool only displays information about the PID if you open the associated run-time image file. This information is not displayed if you choose to open a Ceconfig.h file.
After you generate a report, you can view, save, and print the report for reference purposes.
