Xilinx Update
XilinxUpdate Dialog Box
The XilinxUpdate utility performs a check to compare the currently installed version of software with software updates that may be available on the Xilinx® website. The utility displays the currently installed version of the ISE® software, and if an update is found, the update will be available on the website. You can display more information about the software features available in the update. You can also download and install a newer version of the software.
The XilinxUpdate utility will tell you if your installation is up to date. If a new version of the software is available, do the following:

- Click More Info to display information about the updates available.
- Click OK to proceed with downloading the software updates. The files necessary to update your installation will be downloaded and installed in one step. There is no need to run an installer after the download has occurred.
  Note You must have write permission on the installation directory to perform the update.
- Click Cancel to decline the download of newer software. If you cancel the download, the XilinxUpdate download pauses and confirms the cancellation. Your current installation is not affected.
  Note If you decline an update from an automatic check, you will be only be presented with the automatic update notification after the update period elapses again.

Uninstall the update on Windows by selecting Start > All Programs > Xilinx ISE Design Suite Current_Release > Accessories > Uninstall Last Update from the ISE Program Group. To uninstall from a Linux OS enter: xilinxupdate -uninstall on the command line or in a terminal window.
