License Specifics

The license that comes with this package is perpetual, allowing for any MPLAB XC16 functional safety compiler version to be unlocked. The latest version of functional safety compiler can be found on the MPLAB XC Compiler page under the Functional Safety Compiler Downloads tab. Older functional safety compiler versions can be found on our Downloads Archive page. Along with the perpetual license, the reports, documentation and TÜV SÜD certificate for one functional safety compiler version will be chosen from a drop-down menu. The documentation can be chosen upon activation of the license from inside the mySoftware section of your myMicrochip account after purchase.

Purchasing Additional Reports:
If you update to a different MPLAB XC Functional Compiler version after your initial purchase and need the documentation associated with it, you may purchase them individually (as reports are available). To purchase individual documentation:

• Buy an MPLAB XC Functional Safety Documentation Package
• After purchase, a drop-down menu will appear inside the mySoftware section of your myMicrochip or My Software Products section of your microchipDIRECT account
• Choose the documentation package for the version of compiler you need (only one can be chosen)
• Click on Download to receive your documents

Maintaining MPLAB XC Functional Safety Compliance:

• What has been certified is the process used to develop our MPLAB XC compilers
• Our executables are controlled and the version always ends in a "9" - developed using the certified process
• Any changes to the executable invalidates the certification
• The data is not controlled, so that device support can be added through device file packs (DFPs), which means device support can be added to MPLAB XC functional safety compilers without breaking compliance

Hard copy available:

• License key with activation instructions

Upon activation, downloadable documentation includes:

• TÜV SÜD certificates
• Functional safety manual
• Safety plan
• Tools classification and qualification reports for MPLAB XC Compiler, MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB debuggers
