Optimizations

MPLAB XC Compilers PRO editions produce highly

optimized code. A low cost option of the compiler is also

available as the Standard Edition. PRO and Standard

licenses are available MPLAB XC compilers are also

available as Free editions or for evaluation purposes.

The Free editions support all devices and commands of

the full edition. They have no time or memory restrictions;

however, code optimizations are limited. These editions

also offer an unrestricted-use license so they are ideal as

a low-cost tool for academic or commercial use.

An evaluation key is also available to enable full use of the

PRO edition features and optimizations of the compilers

when applied. After the 60-day evaluation period, the

compiler will revert back to the Free edition functionality.

The Free edition is available for download from:
