Compiler updates/add-ons question

Hello, in case we already have the PCWH + IDE and we need to add the PCD; all we should do is pay the yearly maitenance (USD250) and PCD add-on (USD100)?? And then we'll have the PCWHD?

Just to make sure.
Thanks

Many years ago when I first bought the compiler I got the windows version of the PCB + PCM compiler. Later on I wanted PCH, so I bought only the PCH add on, and it did add on without issue. In my experience, you're right, you just need to pay for the PCD add on and if you wish, also the yearly maintenance.

Aha,

I was confused because there are two options:
- PCWHD to add 24 bit parts (PIC24 and dsPIC) USD100
- PCDIDE for just PIC24 and dsPIC parts USD350

And we already have the PCWH, so I guess the first option is the one to be selected in order to have the PCWHD.

Thanks

Confirm all this with CCS just to be sure. Better safe than sorry.
