Product details
Overview
SW500005 from HI-TECH Software is a software license key for the PICC Enterprise Edition C compiler, supporting all Microchip PICmicro 10/12/14/16/17/18-series and dsPIC processors. It delivers unified toolchain access, single-license management, and optimized code density for embedded firmware development targeting industrial control, RTU, and SCADA applications.
For engineers reviewing the SW500005 datasheet, SW500005 pinout, SW500005 application, or SW500005 equivalent, this product enables seamless migration across PIC architectures, integrates with Holtek and Microchip development tools, supports bootloader-aware compilation for 16F87x devices, and provides Eclipse-based IDE (HI-TIDE v3.xx) compatibility with project management and incremental build capabilities.
Technical Context
PICC Enterprise Edition unifies three previously separate compilers-PICC, PICC-18, and dsPICC-into one licensable package. It supports over 300 PIC variants and introduces early device enablement via HI-TECH's partnership with Microchip.
The compiler features advanced code generation technology delivering high code density and low memory footprint. It integrates with HI-TIDE v3.xx (Eclipse-based), enabling color-coded editing, CVS support, and C Wiz code wizard functionality for PICC-targeted projects.

FAQ
What is SW500005?
SW500005 is a software license key for HI-TECH Software's PICC Enterprise Edition V2005 compiler. It authorizes full use of the unified compiler suite supporting Microchip's 10/12/14/16/17/18-series and dsPIC processors. SW500005 enables single-license management, eliminates need for multiple compiler purchases, and supports bootloader-aware firmware builds for PIC devices like the 16F877A.
Does SW500005 support dsPIC processors?
Yes, SW500005 explicitly supports dsPIC processors as part of the PICC Enterprise Edition V2005 release. The compiler includes dsPICC functionality and targets dsPIC30F and dsPIC33F families. SW500005 enables mixed-architecture development within one toolchain, allowing engineers to compile, debug, and optimize both baseline PIC and dsPIC code using the same licensed instance of SW500005.
Is SW500005 compatible with HI-TIDE v3.xx?
Yes, SW500005 is compatible with HI-TIDE v3.xx Beta 1 and Beta 2 releases. HI-TIDE v3.xx is an Eclipse-based IDE developed by HI-TECH Software specifically for PICC-family compilers. SW500005 users gain access to project management, color-coded editing, incremental builds, and CVS integration - all validated for use with the SW500005-licensed PICC Enterprise Edition compiler.
Can SW500005 be used to develop bootloaders for PIC microcontrollers?
Yes, SW500005 supports bootloader development for PIC microcontrollers including the 16F870–16F877A series. The compiler includes sample source code, documentation, and memory-mapping utilities required to implement end-of-memory bootloaders with redirected reset vectors. SW500005 enables precise control over program memory layout, essential for reliable field-upgradable firmware in industrial RTUs and SCADA systems.
Does SW500005 include support for Holtek MCU development?
No, SW500005 does not include Holtek MCU support. While HI-TECH Software was developing a separate HI-TECH C compiler for Holtek MCUs (as noted in their January 2005 newsletter), that effort remained a release candidate under verification and was never integrated into PICC Enterprise Edition. SW500005 exclusively covers Microchip PIC and dsPIC architectures per its official V2005 scope and licensing terms.
