Installing Win CE 6.0 licence


We finally managed to develop and test our custom Win CE 6.0 installation. Everything we made on trial version. Now want to buy the license per device and install it into the target Win CE OS.

Does anybody has the description of the procedure to follow? Is there any tool into Visual Studio 2005 to do that?

Does the final OS must be compiled with the license into the NK.bin or is it put somewhere else?


Solution

  • After you get your NK.Bin, you can "stamp" it with your Windows CE license using Platform Builder (AKA Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Embedded CE 6.0):

    Look at this page in MSDN for more details:

    This other post describes how to automate the process using the command line tool stampbin:
