If you go to Microchip Direct and look for compilers, the Hi-Tech compilers are no longer listed (as I said, they are obsolete and discontinued). Searching the Microchip website for Hi-Tech one can find this link for the Enterprise Edition of the Hi-Tech compilers () and this page says discontinued and no longer available. It does appears that if you have Hi-Tech compilers you can still purchase support (aka HPA, ) but since the compilers are no longer supported, what would be the point? Good luck with your search it appears the Hi-Tech compilers (as Hi-Tech, and not as reincarnated as XC8) are dead and gone.
