Simon,
Xilinx will send you an update CD for the EDK if your subscription
is still valid. I purchased BaseX/EDK 6.3 back in December, but had
problems getting my upgrades for both. The first problem was that both
packages were still registered to the vendor I bought them from, rather
than myself, so I couldn't download the ISE update. The second problem
was that I didn't receive the EDK update CD.
Both problems were resolved relatively quickly and easily by
calling the Xilinx toll-free support number. Give them the product
number and place of purchase, and they'll set you right up. I had much,
much less luck with the email support address given in the registration
acknowledgement email. Not much help at all...

Simon,
Xilinx will send you an update CD for the EDK if your subscription
is still valid. I purchased BaseX/EDK 6.3 back in December, but had
problems getting my upgrades for both. The first problem was that both
packages were still registered to the vendor I bought them from, rather
than myself, so I couldn't download the ISE update. The second problem
was that I didn't receive the EDK update CD.
Both problems were resolved relatively quickly and easily by
calling the Xilinx toll-free support number. Give them the product
number and place of purchase, and they'll set you right up. I had much,
much less luck with the email support address given in the registration
acknowledgement email. Not much help at all...

Could someone from Xilinx please comment on whether this is true ?
Cheers,

The 'service pack 7_1_01' is a update for the EDK 7.1 I think
But I'm sure when you want EDK 7.1 you must buy it. It not possibl
update EDK 6.3 with EDK 7.1 without pay somethink

So, having had something of a forced absence from FPGA's for a few
months, I've just been looking at upgrading to 7.1 for both ISE and EDK.
My BaseX subscription seems to have allowed me to update ISE to 7.1, but
I can't see any way of upgrading my EDK ?
Questions:
1) Is it possible to do an upgrade, or is it a question of re-purchasing
the EDK every time there's a release ? I bought it in March (just
checked the order :-) and I thought you got upgrades for a year ?
2) Will the EDK 'service pack 7_1_01' (which I do seem to have access
to) upgrade a 6.3 version of the EDK ?
3) Am I simply being stupid and missing the blinking neon lights
somewhere on the site saying 'Oy, it's over here'... ?
Tx for any help :-)
Simon
