Description

WebTalk is a secure design data collection feature of Xilinx software that helps Xilinx understand how you are using Xilinx devices, software, and Intellectual Property (IP).

This command returns the current state of the WebTalk feature for the current user and software installation. You can also enable or disable WebTalk to send software, IP and device usage statistics to Xilinx. No data is sent if you disable WebTalk, except for the use of the WebPACK license to generate a bitstream.

Participation in WebTalk is voluntary, except for the use of the WebPACK license. WebTalk data transmission is mandatory, and is always enabled for WebPACK users. WebTalk ignores user and install preference when a bitstream is generated using the WebPACK license.

Note: If a design is using a device contained in WebPACK and a WebPACK license is available, the WebPACK license will be used. To change this, please see answer record 34746.
