If you have purchased a compiler license and not yet received the license key (or license acquisition code), you can use the free evaluation edition of the compiler* by following steps 1 and 2 below.
After having received the license key, follow steps 3 and 4.
*The trial period of a free evaluation edition is 60 days. See for details: Evaluation software tools

 

1. Reading the Software License Agreement

Before using a compiler product (CC-RL, CC-RX, or CC-RH), carefully read the Software License Agreement at the link below.

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT_LLWEB-20179381

 

2. Installing an IDE and the license management software

An integrated development environment (IDE) and license management software need to be installed. The e² studio and CS+ are available for use as IDEs.
Executing the installer for the IDE installs the IDE along with the compiler and the license manager you intend to use.
See the table below and install software that using your compiler requires.
See this page for the operating environment.
*From July 2022, the CC-RH compiler has also been made usable with the e² studio. Combinations of CC-RH V2.04.00 and later versions and e² studio 2022-07 and later versions are supported.

If you have already installed the required software, go to step 3.

 

3. Acquiring a license key (if you have purchased an annual license)

  1. Ensure that you have the license acquisition code that came with the compiler package.
  2. Log in to My Renesas on the Renesas Web site.
    My Renesas: https://www.renesas.com/myrenesas
  3. Select [Obtain Subscription License Key] from the menu, and register the license acquisition code.

*The license key is valid for one year from the time of acquisition (initial registration of the license acquisition code).
If you purchase a new license to use a compiler for a second year, for example, we recommend only acquiring a new license key when you need to use the compiler again after the first license has expired or at the time the first license expires.

 

4. Registering the license key

If you have purchased a permanent license, make sure you have the license-key certificate that came with the compiler package.
If you have purchased an annual license, make sure you have the license key you received through step 3, Acquiring a license key.
