Where's the Vivado voucher number?

Question

I recently ordered a MicroZed board and the contents listing on the web page showed that a license key would be included for the Vivado Design Suite. I triple checked my package and there's only an invoice included.

I contacted Avnet technical support for help and they directed me to go to www.xilinx/getlicense to obtain the software, but the website required either a voucher number(which the support person didn't give me) or I could choose to download an evaluation trial of either 30 or 60 days of Vivado Design Suite.

I understand there is also a free verstion with many features taken out and it doesn't come with the logic analyzer portion which I've read comes only with the licensed version. It's such a huge download that it feels rather silly to download and install it given that I'm supposed to have a license for the real thing.

If anyone knows where to find the voucher number, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

The license voucher was removed from the MicroZed Evaluation Kit about 2 years ago. All websites and documentation were supposed to be updated at that time. I apologize if you found something that reflects the old information. Please let me know where you saw that and I will get that changed. Before typing this up, I double-check the Product Brief http://microzed.org/sites/default/files/product_briefs/PB-AES-Z7MB-7Z010-G-V2.pdf and the product page http://microzed.org/product/microzed , and those are accurate. The reason for making that change 2 years ago was the fact that Xilinx changed WebPACK to include the Logic Analyzer and Debug IP elements. You can verify that these features are included in WebPACK here: https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado/vivado-webpack.html Doing a comparison of Vivado HL Design Edition vs. Vivado HL WebPACK, the only difference is Partial Reconfiguration, which is not something we actively promote with MicroZed. You should download and license the Vivado HL WebPACK. Note that WebPACK also must be licensed, but it is free. Go to www.xilinx/getlicense to request your free WebPACK license. Bryan
