A PDK doesn't provide the software - it just provides the models, the rules, the data needed to use the tools. The application (PVS) would need to be obtained from http://downloads.cadence.com For this you'd need a support login, which if you're at a University (which I suspect from your last answer) would probably be whoever is responsible for the Cadence setup in your institution. I rather doubt that your institution is limited ot using a release from 8-15 years ago. The only case that would happen is if they had a perpetual license and hadn't paid maintenance in the intervening years (this is an unlikely scenario if under the University program). It may be that nobody has bothered installing anything newer, but I doubt very much if the license is limited to such an old version. Regards, Andrew.
