Installing ARM RVCT 4.0
From Symbian Developer Community
- Point your browser at http://silver.arm.com
- Register (if you aren't already registered) and confirm registration by clicking the link in the email they send you.
- Log in.
- Select the "RVCT 4.0 for Symbian" download
- Accept the license terms (note that this is restricted to individuals or companies of 20 employees or less, if you don't meet this criteria you'll have to purchase a license)
- Enter a hardware ID for your node-locked license (I recommend switching from disk ID to Ethernet and then open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" - look through the list for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" and enter the hexadecimal number next to "Physical Address" removing the dashes between the pairs of digits).
- Click the link to save the license file and remember where it is saved (or put it somewhere you'll easily find it).
- Hopefully your download will have completed by now... open the zip (or extract it to a temporary location, either will work) and run the "setup" application inside it.
- Change the installation path to C:\Symbian\ARM (it must not have any spaces in the path, the default location does) and accept all other steps of the install.
- Towards the end of the installation, the ARM License Wizard should start. Click next, then choose "Install license" and click next again twice.
- Click the button with the ellipsis (...) and find the license.dat file you saved in step (7) - select this and then click the "Add" button next to the ellipsis. Say "Yes" to the two pop-up dialogs that follow. Now click next and then finish to exit the license wizard.
- The installation should now complete and you can then click next and finish to exit the installation wizard.

I can't access it either. Looking at ARM's web site, maybe the correct address is https://www.silver.arm.com As of 25.Oct.09 that seems to be down too

Works fine for me. http://silver.arm.com redirects you to https://silver.arm.com, at which point you can register.

For license; please get info from "readme.html" in RVCT installation zip file.
You must install a valid FLEXnet license key before using RVCT.
Save the license file that was obtained along with RVCT 4.0 download as "license.dat" and place it into "C:\Program Files\RVCT_Symbian" (or wherever you chose to install the tools).
Create a new, or modify an existing, Windows environment variable called ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE to point to C:\Program Files\RVCT_Symbian\license.dat (or the equivalent full path to your license file). In most versions of Windows you can do this via Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.
