Can Xilinx design tools and IP be locked to FLEX dongles? Is Xilinx selling dongles?
Yes, a license for Xilinx design tools and IP can be generated for a USB FLEXnet version 9. Dongles may be purchased from Xilinx. USB dongle licensing is supported on Windows platforms only. Note: In order to use USB FLEX ID Dongle with Windows operating systems, you will need to install the appropriate driver prior to creating a FLEXnet license for use with it. • Install Xilinx ISE Design Suite software first. This will contain the installer for the USB FLEXid dongle driver. • Run FLEXId_Dongle_Driver_Installer.exe found in \ISE\bin\nt. • On the Select Options screen, ensure that only FLEXid 9 Drivers is checked. • Click Next twice, and the driver will install. After installation, a screen will appear asking you if you wish to reboot. You will need to reboot to ensure that the dongle operates correctly.
