remove Xilinx webtalk

BOMK the latest release you cannot remove webtalk. Nothing is ever truly free. To remove webtalk you need to purchase one of the non-free version, example Logic ISE.

I know, I'am also married ;)

But I have a purchaed license(embedded edition) now which runs and checksout fine from the flexlm server!!

So it must be possible to remove webtalk!

Yes, agree it should be removable in that case.

I don't know exactly what needs to be done. But I have had issues in the past moving from webpack to licensed or licensed to webpack. I have had to, best I could, try to start from scratch and install ISE on a clean machine. Remove the previous version and reinstall the new.

Look at "Setting WebTalk Preferences" on this page to see if that helps:

This is a server based install where we NFS mouting to the clients.

wireshark showed that webchat uses curl to access "

webtalk uses curl under the covers, so setting http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy will at least block Xilinx's bigbrother-ware.
