Jim, if you go here >> http://www.ccsinfo.com/versions.shtml
It list the latest updates.
It looks like the fix is in version 3.222
3.222  The programming algorithm for 12 bits parts has been
updated
As far as I know you would have to have a current license
for updates to download the fix.  That's a guess, but seems to
be the way CCS operates.
