Starting with PBP: how to restart with PBP today

[Ioannis]

As Henrik posted, you can use PBP in any operating sytem.

But you have to use MPLABX 5.35 and not any newer than this.

I use Pickit2, Pickit3 programmers with the Standalone PickitPlus software for these programmers by Anobium https://pickitplus.co.uk/Typesetter/

Another programmer I use especially when I need serialization of the chips, is the Elnec BeeProg 2

Code is written on Microcode Studio Provided by the PBP.

The chips are configured by the Stand Alone Microchip Configurator.

Thanks for the instructions.
Does everything work with Windows 11 pro?

Like they told you already, it works with any new operating system. I personally have PBP3 installed in Windows 10 and 11 laptops. It works great with both. I strongly suggest that you upgrade to PBP3. If you can find the email with the proof that you bought an older version, I believe that you get a discount for PBP3.

As they told you already, I bought the "PBP-4-UP" update in 2011; I have the activation code, but I don't understand why it's called that, if it's an update to PBP3 (3.09 or 3.010?).
I remember that I had abandoned everything because I always encountered new problems with MPLABX.
Thanks for the directions.
Now I'll try to install everything on a new partition with Win10 pro 64bit

There is no such thing as "PBP-4-UP". Here is a version history of PBP.

Maybe this was internal name of thew updates.

But the known version were the ones posted by rsocor01
