I would encourage you to research some of the avenues and programs = provided by most EDA vendors to support University institutions. The = programs are quite efficient and offer flexibility to accommodate = varying technical educational requirements. As many pointed out, you = have product support means within the EDA company technical support = structure and technical forums such as this one. I feel comfortable = voicing that everyone in the EDA community strives to provide the best = level of product support to their customers, in one way or another (and = yes, it is an ever evolving process). http://www.cadence.com/company/university/ Carlos R.

First, AE does not provide enough support sometimes. Seconde, students will have no access to formal support since licenses, = donated by Company, do not contain Tech Support always and sometime = those licenses are not legal sometimes. Third, illegal use of licensed EDA will do good to that company. For = instance, CADENCE is the most welcomed IC design platform in China till = now, why? Mentor Graphics also have good tool flow for whole flow chart. = The reason, which is held by many people here, is that mentor graphics = does not have enough cracked versions for students to access. = Contrastly, Cadence and hspice can be found in almost every labs in = Chinese University. Students will have opportunity to grasp these tools = and get used to use them before graduation. Thanks!
