C++ Compiler -separate license and product from C Compiler?

Hi,
We have codeword, customer id etc. for
HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.00.

But, we need C++ compiler on one of our HP-UX 11.00 servers. Do we have to purchase another license for C++ compiler because C++ compiler is a separate bundle from C compiler?

Please let me know.

Thanks!
Ravi.

Re: C++ Compiler -separate license and product from C Compiler?

These are two separate products. You will need aCC to compile C++; it will also compile ANSI C. The ANSI/C Compiler product is being phased out in favor of aCC but in any event, if you want to compile C++ then you will need to purchase the ANSI/C Compiler or use the free Gnu compiler.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

I'm confused. I'm really sorry, I don't understand.

We do have ANSI C.

Re: C++ Compiler -separate license and product from C Compiler?

I'll try again. The HP ANSI?C compiler will not compile C++. The HP ANSI/C compiler will compile ANSI C and K&R C but not C++. HP's C++ compiler is called aCC and it will compile C++ and ANSI C but not K&R C. If you have toi do development in K&R C, ANSI/C, and C++ then you must actually purchase both products.

In your case, you have the HP ANSI/C compiler so if you want to also compile C++, you must also purchase aCC.

Hi Ravi:

To add to Clay's comments, you can find the new Ansi C/aCC+ product here:

Too, an evaluation copy exists at:
