WindRiver "System Clock Has Been Set Back"
At one point a few weeks ago, my friends thought it would be funny to set my system clock to something ridiculous. Ever since then, despite having corrected the mistake and setting the clock to the right time, WindRiver 2014 has not been running. Every time I open it, I get the error:

I can't help with the solution, but I DO hope you harass your "friends" for screwing you over like that.

You could download VirtualBox and install it on a virtual machine.

Re: WindRiver "System Clock Has Been Set Back"
Did you try to uninstall the re-install Wind River? The license manager thinks you were trying to circumvent the license terms. You'll never get it to work again w/o assistance from Wind River.

Re: WindRiver "System Clock Has Been Set Back"
To uninstall, I'd try a 3rd party uninstaller (like Revo) that will actually dig through your registry and delete anything and everything it can find that would possibly stop Wind River from "remembering" that it's been installed before.

Re: WindRiver "System Clock Has Been Set Back"
Try searching your filesystem for files having a future date. The license manager probably created one in an unobvious spot when the clock was misadjusted, and now it thinks you're trying to subvert an expiring license by setting the clock to the past. I've seen people hint at having stopped the "FLEXlm -88" error by deleting any such files.

EDIT: Also, maybe worth noting, just organizing the folders within C: show that their last edit was from a reasonable time ago, from a few weeks to a few months, so.... |

Okay, I searched it out, I found only one file made after tomorrow, it was a chrome file I deleted. WindRiver still didn't work, so I reinstalled it, and it still doesn't work. I honestly can't figure this out, and I would really like the help, because I need to be able to use my computer. |
Re: WindRiver "System Clock Has Been Set Back"
Okay, I got the issue fixed. I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but this is what I did.
Step 1: Use windows file manager to find any files made after tomorrow. If not important, delete them. If important, open them up and save them again or copy into a new file to get the date fixed. Step 2: Delete WindRiver. Use the uninstallers if you want, I don't see that they made a huge difference. Step 3: Use regedit to find a Windriver folder in your registry. It should have about 2 files, both of which are registry related. Delete it. Continue to search your registry. You will find one registry entry clearly marked as the WindRiver license manager. Delete it. Step 4(Don't know if this helps, but...): Clear your cache and then restart. You may be hit by some notes saying your registry is being repaired. That's okay. Step 5: Reinstall WindRiver. Use default directories and don't restart after the 3.0 installation. Step 7: PROFIT! |
