After 21 days, you will get Compiler Error or something close to it and you will not be able to compile. If you want to program some of 16fxxx PICs go with PICC-LITE version. It is free and doesn't expire. >From: John Nall >Reply-To: pic microcontroller discussion list >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: [PIC]: Hi-Tech C Compiler - Demo Version Limitations >Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 19:14:16 -0400 > >I'm not sure I understand everything that I know about the demo version of >Hi-Tech's C compiler.
