Standard vs Professional? What's the difference?

[GaryOlmstead]

Hi --

I have a program that is too large for the eval version, but I am stumped between the Standard and Professional versions.  Both descriptions say Unlimited C, Unlimited assembly, Processor Expert with basic and advanced beans, and data visualization.  No other description, but the Professional is twice as much.  So, what would I get?

Professional supports more other chips such as mcu except DSC. I recommand you the standard one. if you just use CW for DSC, it is enough. any more advice is appreciated. this is my view.

The tool capability between the Standard and the Pro versions are identical. As armond mentioned, the Pro version supports more processors, and maybe provides some more Beans, but do not hold me to that latter. I've attached a datasheet that you can study.

OK, thanks.  That document wasn't all that helpful. But it turned out that the free version did compile it after all, so I can put off a decision for awhile yet.

As for processor support, I have nine different versions of CW on this computer, and it looks like I will be adding another one pretty soon.

Thanks for your help.
