[ERROR] armclang: error: Failed to check out a license. The license has expired

Mbed OS

I am having this issue:
[ERROR] armclang: error: Failed to check out a license.?

I got this after uninstalling/reinstalling Mbed-Studio on Windows-11.

I looked up the issue in the forums, and found the issue mentioned here in this forum, also after uninstalling/reinstalling. The feedback mentions that the issue is with running in Remote Desktop. But I am not running in Remote-Desktop (I also double checked with our IT guy). So it is something else, and it is definitely related to installing mBed-Studio AFTER Uninstalling mBed-Studio (using the mBed uninstall program). I believe that the uninstall program does not properly clean up everything, as after re-installing seems to remembe configurations, etc as well as giving the “[ERROR] armclang: error: Failed to check out a license.”

[ERROR] armclang: error: Failed to check out a license <==I checked this but did not see the problem/solution

Version 0.91 suddenly unlicensed <==I checked this but did not see the problem/solution

I also looked at the 2 links provided from the error message in Mbed-Studio, but did not see the issue or the fix there:
1> Documentation – Arm Developer
2> Software Licensing – Arm Developer

I actually found the solution to this problem, but I don’t recall where I found it.
The solution was to upgrade mbed studio from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5, then everything worked fine. :slight_smile:
