XJTAG Boundary Scan — Free Trial FAQ

Availability and use

When will the product trial be available?

Once we have received and accepted your completed request form, you will be sent the XJTAG Standard Development System with a 30-day licence. This licence will stop the product working if not renewed.

Can I convert my trial to a purchased version?

Yes. Please contact your local XJTAG distributor for a price list. Once purchased, we issue a new licence and you can continue to use your XJTAG system.

Free Board Setup

If requested, XJTAG will set up its test system and one development project on your own electronics free of charge, when you take your trial.

Can I have the free trial only, without the board setup?

Yes.

If I want a Free Board Setup with my trial, what do I need to supply?

To set up your board, we will require the following (under Non-Disclosure Agreement):

• One of your boards and a power supply.
• Circuit diagrams for the board and any test fixtures (preferably a PDF that can be searched).
• Netlist(s). We support over 60 netlist formats (including RINF, EDIF, Protel, PADS-PCB and any ASCII netlists)
• Details (including BSDL files) of custom JTAG-enabled parts fitted on the boards (if any).

Get the most out of your trial

What resources are available to help me evaluate the system?

The XJTAG system comes complete with an XJDemo board and interactive tutorials to get you started with developing your first test system with XJTAG.

You will have free access to XJTAG's device test libraries and latest S/W upgrades, during your evaluation period.

Can I get technical support or help for my trial version?

We provide full technical support by telephone and email, to help with the set up or troubleshoot any issues. After the trial period, phone and email support is available only for customers in maintenance contracts.

For additional help, we recommend searching the Knowledge Base, to find focused answers to specific questions.

System requirements

Windows XP ® (service pack 3 or higher), Windows Vista ® or Windows 7 ®.

Converting your trial

How do I convert to a purchased product?

If you already have the XJTAG Development System for evaluation, you can continue using the product without interruption by purchasing it. Simply contact your XJTAG distributor to make a purchase to have your hardware licence extended, and you can continue using XJTAG without reinstalling the software.

I have an earlier trial version. Can I convert it to the latest version?

If XJTAG has released new versions of its products since your trial and you are now ready to purchase, you will have access to download the latest version of the software.

What if I want to purchase only specific products, but not the full system?

XJTAG trials allow you to evaluate all of the tools that are part of the XJTAG Standard Development System, but you can certainly buy individual products that best match your business needs.
