I own an old beautiful CAD, it use a parallel dongle as lock, developer firm closed down, I still own a valid licence but I cannot use it due to parallel port obsolescence. Cracking practice drive protection to a risk of breaking also who is at right side too. I Installed a 30 day demo version for MSP and ARM, licensing run on a collision also requiring XP reinstallation and a lot of time so I hate everything is requiring lock. TI don't promote it? I am currently using IAR demo version for educational purpose and on small code project but never I used on huge project.

Hi Blake, IAR is definitively too much expensive, I used Quadravox for a lot of time and it was better supported for an acceptable price, also competitor like rowley sell for less at a good quality but this moment CCS is lowest cost.
