SEGGER Embedded Studio V4.52c and older had a different license condition than newer Embedded Studio versions. So if you do not have a valid Embedded Studio license you might get the error message: 

Error Reported: The evaluation period for this release has now expired.

or 

Unrecoverable failure: The evaluation period for this release has now expired.

Solution:

  • If you require to use V4.52c or older a valid Embedded Studio license is required. Available license types are explained here.
    • If you are looking to work with a Nordic Semiconductor target you can also get a free license here.
  • To install the license, use the newest Embedded Studio version.
  • Install the license with the new version.
  • After successful installation open the old version again. The evaluation period error should no longer appear.

Troubleshooting:

  • Should the error still appear check if the license installation was successful on the newest Embedded Studio by opening a example project that fits the conditions of the license you installed.
  • If the project in the newest Embedded Studio opens without a license pop-up the same project should work in the old version.
  • Close the new Embedded Studio version, then open the old one, now the last project you had opened in the new version will automatically open in the old version.
  • The evaluation period error should no longer appear.
  • Should you still get the error message either the license installation has failed (so try again) or a project was opened that did not match the licensing conditions.
