Hello Fausto,
I recommend to download V9.06 (released 2012) from
https://www.keil.com/download/product/
Note that access requires possessing a valid license key.
-
Install this version into a separate folder.
The corresponding compiler comes with this installer and is stored in the ...\C51\BIN folder.

Thank you for your reply.
I still don't know how to switch over to 9.06, there is no indication in the "options" menu of how to change to 9.06please if you could explain how to change over
thank you
I have the license for 9.06. but I would like to continue using the uVision 5 IDE.

I consider this to be about Keil PK51 and the integrated Compiler.
https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Keil%20PK51
In this case, this is about a new installation of PK51 V9.06.
Just download the installer of PK51 V9.06 as explained.
Next address this installation into a folder like C:\PK51_906.
This article explains more details:
"UVISION: Using Different Versions of the Keil IDE On the Same Computer"
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ka002949/latest/
µVision is the name of the IDE, which is also part of Keil MDK and e.g. PK51.
With PK51 V9.06, µVision V4.24.00 is integrated and to be used.

Thank you again.
I installed the 9.06 as you suggested.
unfortunately it does not work.
first it installed uVision 4 (I need uVision 5), but it does not start.
it only shows the splash screen and disappears.
I will try to get a support ticket, this is frustrating.
thank you again.
