JTAG-Adapters, dongles, I doubt.

If somebody has to change an old Xilinx-design,
he will need the right software revison plus the dongle.
The latest revisions dont help, because they no more
support the old FPGA devices.

Doesn't Xilinx provide a "Classic" version of their tools?

I also have old versions of the Xilinx tools complete with dongle and
programming cables. That's one of the reasons why I hate licenses.
You may have everything you need, except if the PC is different you
may need a new license file. That's the way it is with my current
Lattice software. So far they have been happy to provide a license
file for every new machine I've wanted to port the software to. But I
am sure that one day that will no longer be the case and I'll be
stuck!

The first time I see a way to get away from these proprietary,
licensed tools, I'm gone in a flash!

Hi,

the local Lattice FAEs here in Germany recommended me to get a USB ethernet card
for my PC and tie the license to that. It works a treat. In the office I usually
have it on a windows 2003 server machine (officially not supported but works
anyway and I can log in from a quiet thin client).

When I go to a customer, trade fair etc. I run the same license from my laptop or
one of these neat small form factor PCs from Fujitsu
(http://de.fujitsu.com/products/deskbound/personal_computers/esprimo_q_series.html)

Why? Won't you need to deal with supporting older products?
