    Licensing

    PC licensing for XACT 6.0.x Implementation Tools require that you attach the Xilinx C key to your parallel port. If you have a C key from a previous XACT release, you do not need to make any software modifications, simply insert the key. If you received a new C key, then you can insert the key and use the software for 50 runs. In order to enable your key for an unlimitted number of runs, call Xilinx Customer Service (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time) to obtain authorization codes.

    Once you have received your authorization codes from Xilinx, you can permanently enable your key by double clicking on the Software Authorization Utility. If you purchased the Xilinx version of PRO Series, you should not have a Viewlogic key attached. The Xilinx C key licenses the XACTstep and PROSeries software. The Xilinx C key is the only key that should be attached.

    For more information on PC licensing, see the XACTstep Getting Started/Installation Guide, pages 2-6 to 2-13.
