MPLAB® XC C COMPILERS HIGH PRIORITY ACCESS MPLAB® XC HPA Renewal Instructions HIGH PRIORITY ACCESS (HPA) OVERVIEW When you purchase an MPLAB® XC C Compiler (Standard or Pro Edition), you receive a year of High Priority Access (HPA) support at no charge. After that, you may purchase HPA in one-year increments. You may purchase HPA at any time; it is not necessary to purchase it continuously. If your HPA has expired, you are entitled to download all compiler versions that have been released up to the time of the expiration. You can download these at any time. This table compares compiler features without HPA (after the free one-year period has ended) and with HPA.

Apply the HPA to the compiler and to the system it’s running on 3. Download and run the HPA file An email will remind you when your HPA is due to expire. You can renew HPA at any time prior to, or after, the expiration with no penalties. This makes it simple to get HPA when you need it. You can purchase HPA renewal through either of these Microchip accounts: • a Microchip Direct account: https://www.microchipdirect.com/ • a mySoftware account: http://www.microchip.com/mySoftware The accounts have matching information, so you can use your login and password on either one, regardless of which one you originally registered with. HPA is a subscription that needs to be associated with a specific MPLAB XC Compiler. In order to do so, a subscription file will be generated using the machine's host ID, downloaded, and installed on that system. Instructions for a Microchip Direct account: 1. Login to your Microchip Direct account. 2. Click “My Account” in the upper right, and then the “Software Subscription” link. FIGURE 1: SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTIONS DS50002208A-page 2  2013 Microchip Technology Inc. MPLAB® XC HPA Renewal Instructions 3.
