The ISE Classics release is not a one year license (it's perpetual).
Also, I think we sent out a letter to customers telling them they could
continue to use their current 4K/Spartan licenses forever.

Yes, rehosting the flex license was an issue. We tried, but were
unsuccessful, to negotiate that with Synopsys.

Hi Steve,

It's quite true that the free ISE download licenses are perpetual
(which do not include synthesis support for XC4K and Spartan parts).

It's also quite true that non-free ISE licenses with XC4K/Spartan
support are not, which was my original assertion you are attempting
to deflect by changing the subject to free licenses.

All of this would not have been a problem if Xilinx had really lived
up to the degree of customer support that Austin asserts is Xlinx's
commitment to it's customers, by including support for XC4K and
Spartan product lines in XST back in 2003.
