FPGA-design software needs no lock

Actel's new Designer Series 3.1 FPGA design software requires no security lock, allowing you to install the package for single-person usage in your office, home, or any other location where you work. The ACTmap software function provides full VHDL synthesis for industry-standard constructs, and the ACTgen Macro Builder adds RAM and FIFO macros for use with the 32200DX FPGA. The software also generates multipliers from 1×1 to 16×16. It runs under Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 3.11. Prices start at $995.
