Carbide.c++ Professional and Developer versions are out

Platforms:
Keywords:

Forum Nokia has just released two new versions of Carbide.c++ : the Pro and Developer editions. Unless the Express one, those are not free but brings many benefits:
-  a graphical UI designer tool (for S60)
-  application on-device debugging (for S60 v3 devices)
-  system component on-device debugging (Pro version only)
-  performance investigator (Pro version only)
-  many enhancement and bugfixes
-  ability to develop commercial software

We have been using the beta version of Carbide.c++ Pro for several months now and there has been some major improvements since the Express edition. I encourage you to take a look at these new versions, at least for the On Device Debugging and the UI Designer which are really great (ok, you'll need to struggle a little bit if you are new to Eclipse or used to Codewarrior but this is definitely worth!).

Download the trial of Carbide.c++ Pro & Developer Edition directly from Forum Nokia.

"Ability to develop commercial software"

Hi Eric,

could you clarify a bit what you mean by "Ability to develop commercial software" as a feature item? Is there anything specific in the Express version that precludes its use for developing commercial software? After all, even us commercial developer types have been doing without on-device debugging for the last couple of years. ;-)

"Ability to develop commercial software"

Hi Markus,

Yes, I think that the license that comes with Carbide.c++ Express edition forbids its use to develop commercial applications (i.e. it's only suitable for home/educational usage and development of Freeware / Open Source apps. I don't remember however the exact restrictions!

"Ability to develop commercial software"

He's refering to the license, I presume. The Carbide.c++ express version did in principle not allow for development of commercial applications.

"Ability to develop commercial software"

The EULA for Carbide Express states that it may not be used for commercial development - i.e. you may not sell an application developed using it. See the Carbide Q&A:

"Ability to develop commercial software"

Carbide.c++ express is free only for non-commercial use. If you will made commercial software you should purchase at least developer licence.

"Ability to develop commercial software"

Anybody know anything regarding Nokia's plans with supporting and selling two IDE's. Will CodeWarrior be replaced with the Carbide tools?

"Ability to develop commercial software"

Probably some day. But AFAIK Codewarrior sill still be supported for some time. I doubt that there will be any major evolution though.
