Tried to install ISE 12.x Webpack for supporting
a customer.
After 6 hours of downloading, installing and cleaning up HDD space i made a 
small mistake in the first install process to obtain a license.

After rebooting, when i select the "obtain license key" tab in the ISE12 
HELP, a connection to the xilinx web page fails with "Oops! This page 
appears broken"

Going back one step in the IE to xilinx.com again, there is only a 1 month 
ISE license selected, other input requirements as host name etc. is not 
selectable, a whole SHIT. There is no button to get anything.

Support for one customer failed completely because of LICENSE BS, now i'm 
too late to resume, must drive to another customer.

I'm really pissed off.

Welcome to the club. Xilinx is not alone on
this.

A long time ago, I saw a study on quality of software.  90% of
problems were with licensing.

Better luck next time.

Tell me about it.  A Windows box trying to run two different FlexLM 
licensed pieces of software is almost guaranteed to break at least one 
of them.  God help you if you need three.

Its ironic. Like with the entertainment industry, it may be easier to get 
the pirated version. You can use your own license with it, as it often has 
the original files on and a license generator.
