3.4 Purchase and Activate Your License via Distribution

Instead of purchasing your compiler license from Microchip, you can purchase a license through a distributor. You will then receive either:

• An email with your activation key.
• A hard copy of the compiler and an insert with an activation key on it.

To activate the compiler:

1. Access your MySoftware account. Click on Register MPLAB XC Software.
2. Follow the information provided in the Activate License and Download License File section.
