Look in the lower right corner of the Compiler download page.
There is button for the TCP/IP package. You need to have current
maintenance (download rights) to be allowed to download it.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/compilerupdates.php

If you don't have current maintenance but if you did buy the compiler,
then it's possible that if you email CCS support and give them your
name and "user reference number", they might email you the files.

Thanks for your request,

I only have the demo version of CCS, is possible download the TCP/IP anyway?

Email CCS support and ask them if they will give you the files.
I don't know what they will say.

I don't think anyone is going to offer to cheat CCS out of their due royalties on their own web site.

If I got it right the CCS stack is a port of Microchip TCP/IP stack version 3.75. Or am I wrong, is it written from scratch and has nothing to do with the Microchip's ?
Microchip's stack is at version 4.51 since then. Can somebody tell me what do we really miss with this lag ? (there are plenty of bugfixes, new functions added since then) Would it be feasible to port the current 4.51 version ?

The CCS TCP/IP stack comes with a 'readme.txt' ....

Besides a lot of other helpful information it contains this note:

If this is for a final year project, the last thing you want to be doing is spending valuable time porting a stack (migrating from one compiler implementation to another). I suggest looking at the features you actually need to use. If the current CCS stack does it then great. If not and the C18 stack does it, use C18 for the project.

In my experience it is much quicker to develop an application with CCS than with C18 however, when you are trying to implement something as complex as the full TCP/IP stack your better off using the tool that closely matches your project requirements.
