PAWS Application Note 03 (rev. 1)
PAWS Developer's Studio:
Profile Manager
Profile Manager Overview
The profile manager tool allows the end user to control the appearance and functionality of PAWS Developer's Studio using the concept of profiles. The manager of a project can configure each installation based on the needs of the users. The main use of this tool is to ensure that the various members of a project have access to the tools they need to successfully complete their tasks while restricting access to unnecessary or undesired features.
Profile Manager and License Manager
Another use of this tool is to control how each system attempts to access tools that are protected using the license manager. By default, when the Developer's Studio is run, it tries to access the license for each TYX tool protected with the license manager. If a license is available, the Studio will take it.
However, if a license is not available, a dialog box will be displayed each time the Developer's Studio is launched indicating that no license is available. These dialog boxes, which can be a nuisance, will stop displaying when the profile manager is used to stop the Studio from attempting to access these tools.
Important Note for users installing PAWS Studio for the first-time:
If you did not buy licenses for all Studio products, you will get a message like the one below each time you open studio:
With nodelock licensing, the message will pop up quickly, so the user could simply click ok and start using studio. However, with networked licensing, the user will experience a delay as the license manager searches for a key for each product listed. To prevent this message from appearing each time you open Studio, use the profile manager function to change the profiles.
A Detailed Example of How to Configure a Profile
For this example, assume that you purchased PAWS Studio with the following products:
9500 Studio
9502 Simulator
9503 Debugger
4628 Compiler
Assume you have done the following steps already:
- Installed PAWS Studio
- Installed TYX license manager software
- Entered keys (provided by TYX Corporation)
- Open PAWS Studio. In this example, you would see the following message:
- click 'ok'
- in the 'New PAWS Project' window, select a sample project name (e.g. test), click ok
- from the menu bar of PAWS Developer's Studio, select 'Options', 'Change profile'
- in the top cell of the 'Select profile' window, toggle to 'Supervisors'
- in the lower cell of the 'Select profile' window, enter the password - paws123
- click 'ok'
the license message will appear again (that's ok!)
click 'ok'
- Next, from the menu bar of PAWS Developer's Studio, select 'Options', 'Profile manager'
- double-click on 'Operators'
the 'Profile properties' window will open

To test it, exit PAWS Studio. Re-open PAWS Studio. The license message should no longer appear.
Note on the example above: Be careful not to 'uncheck' something that you actually bought (e.g. Build LexDB, if that is a product that you bought.. The instructions above are merely an example). To identify the proper items to 'uncheck', please read the license message that you see.
