This is is incredibly niche, but I need some advice on how to get PICBASIC PRO working on Arch. Is there a dedicated IDE that I don't know about? I need a way to program this and then compile and send to chips etc (I have the hardware for that). Making a VM specifically for this would be far from ideal. If anyone has some advice, I'd be very appreciative.

I understand all of this, but in the end my problem is with the licensing. I have the licenses for 3 computers and I'm not sure how forcing things to work will affect the license. I suppose that I should have said that I do, in fact understand how to install it. But will the proprietary license(s) update correctly? That's my main issue. Also, thanks fro the rundown here!

shrugs

I couldn't say. If licenses are tied to the computer, there are a number of ways that they could have done that.

Unless you're sure that they are tied to the hardware, though, may not be an issue. Like, they may phone home to some authentication server and just check for concurrent copies running with the same key or whatever.
