Code Composer Studio Version 4 Downloads
This page provides access to current and past download images for Code Composer Studio. The latest link will always be at the top but you can use the other links to download specific versions. For each version are two CCS images that can be downloaded, DVD image and Microcontroller Core. The DVD image is what you get when you buy CCS regardless of which license type purchased and the Microcontroller Core version is the code size limited tool. For updates to BIOS, IPC, XDCtools please go here.
Unless you want code size limited tools then download the full DVD image.
Requirements to Download: You will need a my.TI login to download CCS. If you don't already have one you will be given the opportunity to create one on the login screen. The other thing you will go through when you download CCS is US Export control screening, a questionnaire will appear with some questions that need to be answered. If approved the system will email you the download link. If you are an IE8 user make sure to say "No" to the prompt if you want to view secure content only.

The activation topic walks through the process of activating a license. If you are using the MCU Core download it will automatically generate a license on installation and no user action is required. If you have any issues with license file generation please contact: ccs_license_file_help@list.ti.com.

4.1.1 (February 24, 2010)
Code Size limited (MSP430 and C28x)
Patch: Expected availability via Update Manager on Feb 26. Note that the patch does not include compiler or BIOS updates. If updates to those components are desired they need to be installed separately. For example Stellaris support requires the 4.6.1 compiler or later, this is included in the CCSv4.1.0 and later full install but not the 4.1.1 patch.
MSP430 Users: There is a known issue with using the MSP430 Debugger Options (SDSCM00035406). To resolve this issue, copy the 'PropertiesDB.xml' file in this zip into <INSTALL DIR>\DebugServer\propertyDB.
4.1.0 (Updated on February 2, 2010)
Note: 4.1.0 download images updated on February 2, 2010 with version 4.1.0.02006. This version resolves an issue with register bit definitions in peripheral XML files for MSP430 devices, which led to incorrect display of register bit values in the Register view.
Code Size limited (MSP430 and C28x)

If you need a feature or fix that is included in this release you can download and install the full image in a separate directory, you can also copy your license file from your 4.0.x install (located in \ccsv4\debugserver\license)
