Hello,
I need to change some logic for a board with Spartan XL chip. I got ISE
3.3 Foundation installed and when I want to synthesize, it tells me that it cannot check out a license. Doing some diagnostics with the licenses utility it tells me that the FPGA Express licenses expired in 2002.Does that mean I have to buy another FPGA Express licenses to do the synthesis?
Seems like synthesis is not for free for those old chips? I guess I could try using a newer version, like 4.1, but I am not sure when the FPGA Express licenses for this one will expire.
I searched in the archives for similar postings. I found some older postings from last year. I read from people keeping older versions of the software. Do they buy an update of the FPGA Express license?
Did I do something wrong with the FPGA Express licenses and I can actually still use it?
Thanks for the help.
