Has anyone tried to install a Xilinx floating license? The documentation (UG631 (v 11.1.0) April 27, 2009) says that the required

The wife, OTOH, demands the opposite. I think I see your problem.

And this was on Fedora, > which isn't supported.I just tried it on OpenSuse 11.0 (another unsupported linux version) and xlcm segfaulted as soon as I click on the "Manage Xilinx Licenses" tab. (Or rather, I would guess that it crashes as soon as I get some sort of response from the license server because it only crashes if the LM_LICENSE_FILE is set to point to our license server.) I guess I will have to find a windows machine and see if it is a linux/opensuse only problem or a problem in windows as well. /Andreas

So far so good. Speaking of licenses, we needed a few node-locked licenses in addition to the floating one. It made things much more expensive and as the result we want to re-evaluate our commitment to Xilinx. Does anybody have a recent experience with Altera licensing cost. -outputlogic -- visit http://outputlogic.com : tools that improve productivity --

Does anybody > have a recent experience with Altera licensing cost.The Altera license was roughly half the cost, the last time I bought one. The Xilinx license is more flexible though - you can get a node locked license and run multiple concurrent instances of the software on that machine. (You can verify this for yourself - the license file has "uncounted" in it. The local FAE confirmed that this is not a mistake, and we will be holding him to this.) Cheers, Allan
