I got my starter kit from Insight in the UK so I will ask them, from your
findings I guess I will be waiting a while.

Well i havent heard from them since , but then they said a couple of
weeks, its just been 1.5 weeks since ....

I still think its an excellent service (for free) , and hope they ship
an ISE 6.3 eval also as it seems that the ISE 6.2 eval that was with
the starterkit cant be used for the EDK

The Xilinx online shop still says the starter kit ships with ISE 6.2i which
is what mine came with. 

Please add to this thread if you have any news, I will if I hear something
from my distributor.

Well,
  I guess they must have shipped me the wrong CD by mistake, cause it says 
6.3i.  Anyhow, you can get a 60 day ISE6.3 eval CD from the Xilinx Online 
store for the cost of shipping.

I wrote Xilinx a couple of days ago , and asked if they would ship an
ISE 6.3 eval along with the edk 6.3 eval , for all of us that have
gotten ISE 6.2 with our  starterkit , its my impression you need ISR
6.3 to use EDK 6.3.

The ansver was that they just ship the EDK .......

Thats seems a bit silly , now i have to try to  get a new eval (its
free) and pay shipment , even though they could just have slipped it
into the edk shipment.
