You will find the answer in the copyright notice of the manual ...

" Use of the PicBasic Pro compiler without a license is a violation of law " ...

Taken from the Melabs site ...

TO ME that clearly means even a "second hand" original PbP CD is not Legal ( YOUR name must be on the Invoice ) ...

The good question is : Who sold ( shop or ?) you this PbP disk, can you prove you purchase ... and is it an original one from Melabs ...


If you can show you bought it honestly ... I bet you will be able to BUY a regular upgrade from an authorized dealer ...
