PIC18 and USB

I am having trouble with the pic18 simulator demo program. I copied the program exactly as it appears on the website (reposted below), but when I try to compile it I get the error "Support for USB implementation not enabled". I don't understand this error. The simulator is set to use 18F4550 with 20MHz clock. If I read the config words right, it looks to me like the USB hardware is enabled. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to work? I have struggled with USB ever since I started with microcontrollers more than a decade ago and have never managed to get one to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I did not know there was a different license for USB. I just went to the Oshonsoft website and saw this, but when I go to the registered users download area there is not a different version for USB. I presume the difference would be in the registry key? Oh well, I don't have the funds for that right now. I'll just have to wait. Thank you for pointing that out.
 
I have the licenses for pic and pic18, but they are personal licenses only. I noticed on the license page that the costs are significantly higher for the licenses that include basic support for USB. I presume the difference is not in the pic18 software but in the installed license key. That is, I assume the license key for the USB support will 'unlock' the basic compiler for USB support.
 
Hi Mity,

those config fuses are a pain aren't they. Here's an extract of just the relevant USB stuff from a working prog (not Oshonsoft). You need to end up with 48Mhz to run high speed.

I find its easier to experiment with config settings if you declare them by function (if the language allows) rather than arbitary hex bytes.

Device = 18F4550
Xtal = 48

Config_Start
PLLDIV = 5 ;Divide by 5 (20 MHz oscillator input)
CPUDIV = OSC1_PLL2 ;[Primary Oscillator Src: /1][96 MHz PLL Src: /2]
USBDIV = 2 ;USB clock source comes from the 96 MHz PLL divided by 2
FOSC = HSPLL_HS ;HS oscillator, PLL enabled (HSPLL)
VREGEN = On ;USB voltage regulator enabled
Config_End

I'm sure there's guys on this board who know a lot more about it than I do, but I don't think Oshonsoft USB support is going to help you that much. As I understand it, unlike other simulators (eg. Proteus) simulate the process with PC app and USB device running simultaneously.

Thank you for the replies, but it seems I don't have the license for the USB support. I'll contemplate the purchase, but since I don't really have a NEED for it (I was just tinkering around to see if I could get it to work), I'm not sure the purchase would be useful. I can always use USART/SPI/I2C for communications if I need it. Thaks again.
