Hello Prayer, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the STM8 tools. If you are using the STM8 Compiler to develop for the STLux devices please let us know at . The Free STM8 Compiler "Lite" license (output up to 32 Kbytes of code) was provided as a promotion for STM8 during its launch. That “Lite” license, is not offered for free as of 31 March 2013. What does this change mean for users of the free STM8 “Lite” license? Your free “Lite” license for the STM8 compiler: Continues to function for the software version you installed. It is not a time limited license and allows you to continue creating and maintaining your projects. Allows you to use any versions of the software released during the period of your Maintenance and Support contract (one year after installation) The end of maintenance and support date for your RKit-STM8 tools is provided in your account information at support-raisonance.com (Login on the site. Select Home > My registered tools). If you want to use a version released after the "Technical Support Expires" date indicated for your RKit-STM8, you can extend your support contract for one year (cost 257.00 Euros). What to do if you need additional STM8 compiler licenses The “Lite” license (output limited to 32 Kbytes of code) can be purchased for 700.00 Euros and now supports compiling for STM8 and ST7 microcontrollers. The unlimited “Enterprise” license can be purchased for 1135.00 Euros. . We will continue to support and evolve our STM8/ST7 C Compiler, which leads STM8 compilers in performance as indicated in Raisonance performance testing. We intend to maintain this performance advantage and will release new versions to provide further code size optimizations in the coming months.

We hope that you find satisfaction in your Raisonance tools, and we thank you for your continued support. Best Regards,
