MotoHawk Beta Versions

New Versions

Please be sure to use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the previous MotoTune and MotoServerRuntime files. The latest MotoServerRuntime releases install a little differently than previous releases.

To install MT/MSR 8.13.7.120, the MotoTune developer team recommends:

  1. Exit all open MotoTune (and MATLAB/MotoHawk) sessions.
  2. Using Windows Task Manager, check for any "mnfeature.exe" processes running; if so, kill with "End Process".
  3. Using Windows Add/Remove Programs, uninstall: MotoTune
  4. Using Windows Add/Remove Programs, uninstall: MotoServerRuntime
  5. Delete folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\MotoTron\Server\"
    • This deletes files "mnfeature.exe" and "mnfeatureps.dll"
  6. Unzip the contents of the respective new installer zip files into a temporary directory.
    • MotoServerRuntime now has a helper folder "ISSetupPrerequisites" that must be in the same folder as the installer *.exe file when you run it.
  7. Install: MotoServerRuntime (as administrator, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines)
  8. Install: MotoTune (as administrator, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines)


  • If you have been using GCC in earlier MotoHawk releases, you will need to change your GCC installation for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.
  • For customers using MotoHawk Custom Security blocks, you must use version 1.0.4 (or newer) of your security block for MotoHawk 2009b Beta 3 and subsequent releases.


MotoHawk releases require a valid MotoHawk license to do a code-generation build. You can verify the licensing in your silver MotoTron USB licensing token (dongle) using the MotoTron License Viewer (Start -> All Programs -> MotoTools -> MotoTron License Viewer). "MotoHawk (v5.0)" or "MotoHawk (20xxa/b)" is required to use MotoHawk 20xxa/b releases. To use MotoHawk 20xxa/b releases, most users will need to have MotoHawk 20xxa/b permissions added to their license tokens and may also need to update their software maintenance agreements.
