In the current release of the Xilinx software, you do not need a license to run the software. However, you must be a registered user in the Xilinx Customer Service database. If you are a new user, follow the procedure in the next section to register.
When you install the software, you are asked to provide a number located on the back of the Xilinx CD-ROM package. This number instructs the installation program to load either the base or standard software package.
If you are a new Xilinx user, you should fill out your Xilinx registration card and fax or mail it to your Customer Service location.
