Problems with mpasm

[iw2fvo]

It seems to me that the forum argument now is the update to version 2.50 of the old version of the pbp that i bought in the past year. I have not pay for the update : we are two radio hams both working on the same NON PROFIT DDS control at radio Ham level only. I really do not think to be "illegal" since the other radio ham did pay for the update.
But I am understanding ( if I am not wrong .. English is my second language that i do not know well ) I am not receiving technical help because of the illegality.
If it is like this, I could consider to pay 25 USD for the update that I already have .
Our target is to have the DDS control working for the Analog devices AD9912 chip.
I am also convinced that most of the people who read the forum are more interestd on the real technical aspects.
Anyway,
thanks to the people on the forum.

The overwhelming vast majority of us here are NON PROFIT hobbyists here. We all pay the same amount for the same software (well most of us anyways). We all get to fork out the $250USD (plus any applicable taxes) for the same product, the same support, the same everything. I don't think anybody here is any more special than anybody else (with a few exceptions).

On the back of the first page of the manual, there is a statement:

"Use of the PICBASIC PRO Compiler without first obtaining a license is a violation of the law."

Sounds fairly straight forward to me...
