We are in the need to develop on WinCE6. I downloaded free trial version of that and now I wanted to order a license key for that software, but:

  • Any link I found to obtain a license key leads to webserver error?
  • Where is the field to enter any license key?
  • Where can I download the platform-builder for WinCE6.0? is it free or is another licence to be obtained?
  • Where is the documentation for WinCE6 and Platform builder?

Regards, Philipp

    Hello Philipp,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    As you know, VS 2008 is an old version of Visual Studio and was end-of-support(see Visual Studio 2008 lifecycle, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 lifecycle). Some resources may be not available, but for license key of Visual Studio 2008, please kindly check this link: Product Keys.

    Best Regards,

    Tianyu
