Does WPTools 6 support XE6, or do I need to upgrade to WPTools 7?

Please upgrade to WPTools 7 - it contains a lot of fine improvements, also of the basics of the API and editor.

The cost of upgrading to WPTools 7 is just too expensive for us considering we don't need any of the new features, we simply want to upgrade our IDE to Delphi XE7.
With that being said, is there a compatible version of WPTools 6 available for us to use or is it only WP7 upwards that will support the newer versions?

Other companies now usually have one year subscriptions. WPTools is still sticking to the "Major Version" scheme.
WPTools 5 was serviced from 14.6.2004 to 14.12.2010 (it introduced all new technology)
WPTools 6 was serviced from 30.9.2008 to 19.2.2013.
WPTools 7 came out 8.5.2013 - other companies would already have a new version, embarcadero 2.XE6 and XE7 are both products from 2014. I guess it is possible to compile WPTools 6 PRO with XE7.

Unfortunately when we bought WPTools 6 PRO (which was way back in 2009) we didn't purchase with a subscription.
I have tried compiling WPTools under XE7 but there are a few breaking changes since XE3 (all appear to be unicode related), I began making some of the changes but it started to grow arms and legs.
I was wondering if you guys had a readily available XE7 compatible version of v6?

I didn't try it - there is just WPTools 7. One of the more important changes in WPTools 7 were improved support for the XE themes, so the upgrade would probably make sense. WPTools 7 uses the StyleServices, WPTools 6 didn't.
