Hi, John,
Hope you're having a good new year. Have you gotten any responses on my
Cadence ETS question?
I have not seen anything from anyone... nadda.

Hi, Kevin,
I've seen nothing on my end either. It's been close to a month. Since no
users have replied so far, it's my guess that Cadence is trying to get you
to be the test guinea pig for their new ETS-XL sign-off tool. I find it
odd that instead of being open about it, they appear to be trying to "trick"
you into using it. Usually EDA companies are mostly open about having
someone volunteering to be a beta customer.... Odd...
