The ISE® Design Suite and the Vivado® Design Suite are now released separately and must be installed separately. Both suites are available from the Downloads page on the Xilinx website.
All current, in-warranty seats of the ISE Design Suite will receive an entitlement to the current Vivado Design Suite release. All current, in-warranty seats of the Vivado Design Suite will receive an entitlement to the equivalent ISE Design Suite edition.
You can customize the Vivado Design Suite installation based on the tools and data you require. In addition, you can customize by installing only certain Xilinx device families, such as the Kintex®-7 or Artix®-7 device families.
