  • HI-TECH Priority Access™

    HI-TECH Software's HI-TECH Priority Access ensures that customers receive 12 months web access to new versions, patch level updates, and priority technical support for their nominated compiler.

    For the convenience of our customers, HI-TECH Software has implemented an efficient and cost-effective method of providing our HI-TECH Priority Access™. Customers can access updates through a web download or, for the cost of shipping additional media, a CD with the new version.

    Customers with previous versions can also purchase HI-TECH Priority Access™ to upgrade their existing compiler to the current version.
