Is it possible to revert to a Webpack license once the full 60 day evaluation license has expired on ISE? If so how is it best done? There's nothing obvious in ISE so is it a question of re-installing to get the licensing screen back to allow the Webpack code to be inserted?
Thanks Rog.
Yes (AFAIK, this will require a reinstallation). Be sure to note that WebPACK supports only a subset of the features of the full ISE. If you need fx. to program Virtex 5 devices, then WebPACK won't do you any good.

Thanks Tommy,
I'll reinstall when the evaluation runs out. I know WebPack only supports a subset but I think I can get by for now. The full ISE is very expensive so I need to.

Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding: There's no difference (AFAIK) between installing WebPACK on a brand new computer and installing it on a box that used to have an eval version of ISE, but which have now been uninstalled.
I'm not sure what happens if you try to install WebPACK while the ISE eval version remains installed, but I wouldn't recommend it.
As a cautious example: I botched up an install of Altera's Nios II (deleted some files accidentally) and now I can neither uninstall nor reinstall it. It hangs during the installation. Sigh.
Tommy
Thanks, I'll uninstall the eval version first.
