compiler
is a
USB stick which carries a
single user encrypted compiler license
key.
It completely removes the compiler Demo limit and enables you
to build your projects without any restrictions. Dongle is supposed
to be plugged in your computer’s USB host port, as shown on
Figure
1.3.
Once inserted, it should be recognized as a
HID device.

How do I know if the license is working?
Start your
mikroPascal PRO for PIC
®
compiler. Click the
Help
item of the main menu and then click
About
(Figure
1-1).
The
About
window
(Figure

should appear. In the “Registered
to:“
field (marked with white rectangle on
Figure 1-2)
there should be a text
“mE
Dongle mP PIC”.
This means that compiler has successfully detected the license. All of your projects larger than 2K of program words
should now be able to compile.
