Hi,

License is not to be transferred ... you read it !!!

( note it could be easy to make and keep a copy of the original disc and sell the Original disc ... or what a good business !!! )

Then it looks like i have to buy a new copy from an authorized distributor.

But then the question comes upp again, Proton Picbasic for $199,95 or Melabs Picbasic for $249,99.

Does it make any diffrent on what i choose as an hobby programmer?

Both are good compilers... they have been compared extensively just recently (within a week), so do a search.

For strictly hobby use, you might consider who has local phone support in your purchase. Aside from that, read the comparisons and make your choice. Both have excellent forum support.

Hi Fredrick,
since here is where you have come to the table, the obvious answer is PBP. If you want to hang out in the Proton Forum, then Proton is the answer. 6 months from now you are not going to notice the 50 dollars difference. Now if you only intend to do say a total of 10 or less micros in life, I would high tail it over to Kronos Robotics and buy their chips. Their compiler I believe is free, it has great support, a useful GUI, lots of code examples and built in features like 1 click programming of their popular applications.
