3.1.1 How Do I Install and Activate My Compiler?

Installation and activation of the license are performed simultaneously by the XC compiler installer. The guide Installing and Licensing MPLAB XC C Compilers (DS50002059) is available on https://www.microchip.com/compilers, under the Documentation tab. It provides details on single-user and network licenses, as well as how to activate a compiler for evaluation purposes.

The default install path is different on these operating systems:

Windows:"C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc32\vx.xx\bin\xclm" -status

macOS: macOS: "/Applications/microchip/xc32/vx.xx/bin/xclm" -status

Linux: Linux: "/opt/microchip/xc32/vx.xx/bin/xclm" -status

Where vx.xx is is the version of the compiler.
