You need to contact a sales representative. The trials that you can load directly do not permit older versions to be used.

I contacted them they said they dont know much about the trial versions.Is there anything you can suggest thank you

@nisanur bakir: Really? Did youz ask the salesteam for a 2015b trial version and they replied, that they don't know much about it? But they do not have to know much about it, because the only question was, if they provide you a trial version. Or do I miss the point?

[nisanur bakir]

exactly I asked them the exact question and they said we dont know much about the trial so we dont know even if we provide that version to you they said they dont have enough information but ,i dont think that they need information for this

Again, did you even try the R2017a version?

I doubt the sales representative would have said they don't know about trials. They may have said that they don't know if release R2015b will work with that particular instrument, and that's fair; I doubt very many people (except maybe the development team) would know that offhand.

I recommend asking the sales representative if they can check with the development team if that release of Communication System Toolbox will work with that instrument, or if they can simply provide you with a trial for that release so you can test if it will work.

I didnt try the R2017 version but I am going to try it after weekend I didnt mention about the Vivado compability to the sales representative I am going to ask that also.

If you've asked the salesteam about a 2015b trial version, and they have answered "we don't know if we can provide it", something went completely wrong. Then the most like idea I have is, that there was a celebration in the office, everybody was excited and happy, such that nobody registered, that the children played at one of the computers and guessed the password "s4l3st34m" by accident.

Therefore I'd suggest either to write them again or to call them by phone. Ask for a personal contect to the person who is responsible for offering trial versions of old releases. The will be somebody, who ansers 'yes' or 'no'.

You get some ideas and replies here, but remember, that this cannot be solved in the forum, but only by the official support.

Their System Generator 2017.1 is supported on MATLAB R2017a; https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/55830.html

2017a will very probably work, so you should definitely give it a try anyway. If it doesn't work, I'd contact Vivado and tell them that they need to modernize their product. Then call the sales department at the Mathworks, because we (non-Mathworks employees) can't help you get a trial version of an old release.

[Walter Roberson]

Though 2015b was the last 32 bit version so potentially 2017a will not work.

Though I see from https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/55830.html that their tool was all 64 bit by their 2015.4 version.
