Hi Savant
First of all, you need a Embedded OEM CLA (Customer license agreement)
to get embedded licenses. You can get a CLA through your Embedded
Distributor.
So, most "paperwork" is in this agreement.
With the licenses, there are only a few documents:
- BTS (break the seal agreement): This is a red or yellow seal over the
license envelope.
So, if you break the seal, you must have a CLA in place and read and
follow the ALPs.
- ALP (Additional License Provisions). the ALP is attached at the back of
the license envelope.
There are defined some restrictions for an "embedded system" and the
usage of the licenses.
- PID (Product identification). This is the license code to use in the
target designer to get rid of
the 120-day timebomb and the "evaluation copy". The PID was on every COA
but now, there
is only a paper in the envelope with your PID. You need only one PID to
"activate" your image
for a whole product family.
- COA (Certificate of authentity): This is the "real" license sticker.
