ANT Forum

Dear
I would like to put the licence key to nff5-SDK examples into sdk_config.h file
Format on thisiannt side looks like this
0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX
but in the example like this
ANT_LICENSE_KEY "1234-1234-5678-225f-a00e-225f-225f-225f"

Do do have any ideas how to put ANT_LICENSE_KEY in this example?
ps. with this format ANT_LICENSE_KEY "1234-1234-5678-225f-a00e-225f-225f-225f" software runs perfectly
but with this key
ANT_LICENSE_KEY "0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX, 0xXX"
it fail      

Hi,

The "ANT_LICENSE_KEY" is a different format from the "ANT+ Network Key" because they are for different purposes.

The "ANT_LICENSE_KEY" is for authorizing the SoftDevice to run. For evaluation purposes, you can simply uncomment the existing evalutation key in the nrf_sdh.h header file.

If you are planning to ship a product commercially using the ANT SoftDevice, you should get a commercial license key from here: https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/nrf52832/#tab_protocol_stacks_tab      

Dear Harrison,
Let me summarise. If I want to use ANT SoftDevice I have to buy this licence
https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/nrf52832/#tab_protocol_stacks_tab
But If I write my own program I do not need this license?

Besides, If I want to connect to ANT Network i still need ANT+ Network Key

Am I right?

ps. What kind of parameters I should use in order to read Wahoo HRM ? Is it possible to use evaluation SoftDevice license and connect to HRM Wahoo?
