It is not a trial license. The software is free, but is a "crippled" version of software that costs a lot. Since the software is free, I guess the main purpose of the license is to track how many people are using it. Probably Mentor insists on having that info; they may even charge Xilinx based on it. Since you are legitimately registered and tracked, I really don't see this as "against the spirit". Perhaps a technical violation, but I don't think the company cares in this kind of a case. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
