Get a License for Nordic Semiconductor Devices

We at SEGGER have partnered up with Nordic Semi to provide their customers with Embedded Studio licenses for free that can also be used for commercial products if a Nordic Semi target device is used. You can acquire such license through Embedded Studio directly by simply building any project. This will prompt you with a "Non commercial-use license detected" text. There you will find an option "Activate Your free license". Alternatively you can also request the license via your web browser under: http://license.segger.com/Nordic.cgi

Note: The license is only valid for Nordic Semi target devices. If your project is not set up to use a Nordic Semi target device Embedded Studio will show that no valid license is available (for the currently open project). So simply switch the target device to a Nordic Semi one and you are good to go. License installation instructions will come with the activation e-mail after registering. Should you still be running into issues feel free to contact us at our forum at https://forum.segger.com

License renewal

Once a license is requested it is valid for 1 year. It stays valid for all Embedded Studio release versions that are released in that time period. If you install a newer Embedded Studio version that is outside this time period you will be prompted with the message that you need a new license. To get a new once simply request a new license as you did the first time. It will also work for the same MAC address.

Install renewed license

To install your renewed license you first need to remove the old license. For this go to Tools->License Manager->Manage Activations.

Now select the license and press "Remove License". Now the new license can be installed like you did the first time in the license manager under "Activate Embedded Studio".
