I have Spartan-II(XC2S150 PQ208AFP0105 5C) evaluation board and I just download ISE 14.5 in order to Implement my VHDL code on my board but as I notice Spartan-II had been discontinued and Xilinx no more supports it, I wanna know whether I can download library or sth else that can be added to my ISE 14.5 in order to support my Spartan-II evaluation board?
and by the way I wanna know what is max input clock of my board.

Spartan-II was last supported in ISE 10.1.03i.
 

well I think by Installing BSDL Model of Spartan-II in ISE14.5 I can achieve my goal but I don't know how to install it. I would be thankful if sb help me.

why won't you just install the old version ?
 

well we have 2 evaluation board in our lab one is Spartan II other is Spartan 6 because of Spartan-II is low cost my professor asked me to first Implement my project in Spartan-II after learning how to use it I will switch to Spartan 6.
IT's will be not logical to install both ISE 10 and ISE 14.5, I don't see why the vendor remove this device in newer versions without considering a way to whom using Spartan-II (or other similar discontinued devices) on newer ISE versions

basically all you got to do is to set the XILINX enviroment variable to the other installation, and then switch back.

honey I already know how to set enviroment variable a did also write a batch file for it,my problem is that I don't wanna install both versions and I rather to install the new one
 

Well tough, you cant. If you have a problem, take it up with Xilinx.
Its quite common to install multiple versions of the compile tools. Usually because some bits of IP wont compile in different versions. Its something you have to learn to deal with. ISE is NOT like visual studio.
