ModelSim : Altera_Starter_Edition VS Altera_web_edition

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 you can find modelsim for altera here : https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/eda_software/modelsim/msm-index.jsp   I am actually using ModelSim 6.3g Web Edition for behavior simulation (no .vho simulated)  I wonder what are the main differences between altera starter edition and altera web edition  Both are limited to 100'000 lines of VHDL xor Verilog and are slower than Altera paid version.  but what other differences, limitations ? time limited, features disabled, advertising message , no outputs, no cursors, limited wave form .......... ?

The Altera Starter Edition is replacing the Web Edition. I believe the new Starter edition supports Verilog AND VHDL?

AFAIK the Altera editions of Modelsim still only support a single language per project. You can have different projects in either VHDL or Verilog, but you can't mix VHDL and Verilog in a single Modelsim project. 

You need to order a license from Mentor Graphics if you want to mix languages.

I just tried a project with mixed languages on Altera's modelsim starter edition and it worked. By mixed languages I mean some files are in VHDL and some were in Verilog. You cannot have true mixed language where VHDL and verilog are in the same file. 

 The starter edition is also faster than the web edition.

ModelSim comparison: 

http://www.altera.com/products/software/quartus-ii/modelsim/qts-modelsim-index.html  i just tried mixed language in ModelSim-Altera 6.5b (with 9.1sp1) and got:# ALTERA version supports only a single HDL  this was with a Verilog counter instantiated in VHDL with a VHDL test bench, all separate files.

Sorry, you're right, the sim I was compiling wasnt actually using the VHDL files...
