Hi,
I am interested in purchasing the carbide create pro software. But I need UCCNC postprocessor capability. Before purchase the pro version can you help with this. Thank you.
Basic G-code or Grbl should work.
If not, it is possible to make a custom one:

You’ll need to provide a list of the G-codes which your firmware supports.
As @WillAdams pointed out for 3rd party CNC machines there is only two options, Basic G-Code or GBRL. The limitation of those post processors is for most 3rd party machines they can not handle advanced vcarve tool paths because there is only one tool path with two tools. Unless your CNC had a BitSetter like function you cannot do advanced vcarve on 3rd party machines. However with the Pro version of CC you output gcode and there is web site to convert the single tool path with two tools into two tool paths.

C3D has a website to extract gcode from .c2d files but not sure if it will convert advanced vcarve into two tool paths or not. Give it a try.

I have not researched 3rd party machines but the BitSetter seems to be unique to C3D machines. Most 3rd party machines have a BitZero function but that is not the same as a BitSetter.
You can use v6 of Carbide Create to make gcode files for free but there are some good features in v7 of CC. Starting with v7 of CC they encrypt the gcode inside the .c2d file where in previous versions of CC you saved separate gcode files. With the Pro license you can save gcode files and using their website you can also convert the free version of CC into gcode files.
