Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

What is the difference between full version and free version? I saw this sentence " CCStudio IDE is free to use with all C2000 tools." Does this mean I only need the free version of CCStudio? Thanks.

Could you give me more details? Thanks.

I have C2000 development kit.

Yup, that itself entails you for a free CCS license. After downloading and installing CCS v5.5 all you've to select is:

Free XDS100 license type in licensing menu.

Hi Gautam,

Does the free XDS100 license have time limitation?

I brought CCS 5 software last week, then I realized I can use the free version for C2000. But they don't do return for software even the package is sealed. Also they told me that the free XDS100 license has 1 year limitation. I am confused now. If it doesn't have limitation, I want to sell it. If with one year limitation, maybe I should keep it.

Thanks for your help.
