    What are the differences between the normal TBC and the TBC HCE version?
    I was offered a full version of Trimble TBC HCE for €650. However, I need the software for surveying tasks, i.e. the normal TBC.
    
    Thank you for your help.

    Till about 6 years ago, I believe version 4.12 or so, there were 2 TBC versions. Plain TBC focused on geospatial and TBC HCE (Heavy Civil Edition) focused on Earthworks and Civil Design.

    With V5.00 both lineups were merged into one product. Meantime we are past version 5.91.

    So, if it is an actual HCE version it is rather old, and you might miss some feature. It all depends on what you're planning to do with it.

    You might want to check the release notes here Trimble Business Center - Trimble Inc. on what you might be missing out. Unlike the ones for Access the ones for TBC unfortunately never tell the whole story. Not just once we found something that wasn't mentioned in the notes.

    Dear Ronny,
    Thanks for the tip. I wrote to the seller, let's see what he says about it. He stated that he had purchased the license (Sentinal Dongel) in 2022/07.

    For example, with HCE, you won't be able to open DWG/DXF-files in Version 2018, only V2013 an older will be working.
