Offering an efficient way to manage multiple licenses, Microchip Technology has released MPLAB XC Unified Compiler Licenses for its MPLAB XC8, XC16, XC-DSC and XC32 C compilers. This unified approach manages the financial strain and administrative burden of purchasing and managing separate software access models for each compiler. The company's solution consolidates the required licenses to lower overhead and deliver greater flexibility, scalability, and ease of use.
The unified system accommodates evolving development needs, providing multiple tiers for growing teams. The Workstation License can be installed and executed on up to three host machines by a single engineer. The Network Server License allows installation on a server, accessible by any machine on the network, one at a time. The Subscription License is like the Workstation License and features a monthly renewal option. A Multi-Seat Network License can be accessed simultaneously by multiple machines or users.
"Typically, developers need separate licenses for each compiler they work with, which can be complicated and expensive. Our goal with the MPLAB XC Unified Compiler License is to make it easy to work with Microchip tools," said Rodger Richey, vice president of development systems and academic programs at Microchip. "Unified licensing provides an efficient and cost-effective solution, freeing up teams to focus on innovation and to expedite the product development process."
MPLAB XC Compilers help streamline the design process with a toolchain of compatible compilers, debuggers, and programmers that integrate with the MPLAB X IDE, MPLAB Xpress IDE, MPLAB IPE and MPLAB Extensions for VS Code. The compilers support Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems, allowing designers to work on their preferred platform for embedded development.
