Hello
I downloaded Flowcode v.10 but during installation I did not find the option for "30 DAY FREE TRIAL"

Hello.
There is no 30-day trial with Flwocode V10
All components are unlocked and available.
You can compile unlimited code and macros.
There are some free target devices you can use, see here for what's available.
You only need to purchase target packs for the microcontroller you are interested in, if it's not within the free section.
Some features are limited to the professional version, just scroll down on the page the link takes you to.

Hello
I installed the program but it says that I do not have a valid license for compilation. During installation, the only option was to activate the tsl matrix username and password program. It is the username and password with which I purchased flowcode 9. I am also attaching the .msg file. In the 8-bit microcontrollers section, all microcontrollers have an exclamation point (!)

Hello,

I'm afraid the PIC16F886 is not included in the list of free devices. You will need the 8-bit PIC chip pack to compile to this device in Flowcode 10.

The list of free devices in v10 can be found here. https://flowcode.co.uk/free/

Hello
Flowcode v.10 must be installed with a PC connected to the Internet? When I purchased Flowcode v.9, I was not careful enough to realize that the installation was conditional on connecting the PC to the Internet. During a 21-day vacation in 2022, I took the laptop and the installation kit copied onto a DVD that I encrypted. In the location where I was, there was a house in the middle of nature with no electricity, no internet, no mobile phone somewhere in the village of Fundata. The next day I was getting ready for work because I had several projects and it was an excellent moment for creativity. When I tried to use the program, I had the unpleasant surprise of finding that I could not run the Flowcode v.9 program. I wasted the 21 days.

Hi

You do not need any internet connection to run any version of Flowcode.

You only need the internet to (obviously) download the software and any subsequent updates. When FC starts it does try and look to the website to see if there are updates etc but this connectivity is not a requirement. You can simply "click" on New / Open project and it will work fine. Did you try that?

In v9 I switched off my WiFi and :-

Clicking on "New Project" :-

You can see that I can create and use FC as normal.

If it is as you say, it is good. I will try to install and run the program without internet, but I know it didn't work. I installed it on the desktop without problems, but it is permanently connected to the Internet. Thank you all for the technical support. If I buy the 8-bit PIC package, will it work with the free version 10?
