After downloading (1.5 hours) and installing, subsequent steps in Vivado > License Manager don't offer the same options as shown in the the above Digilent tutorial page. (No item "Get Free Licenses - Vivado WebPACK, SDK, free IP and more"). The closest option "Get Free ISE WebPACK, ISE/Vivado IP or PetaLinux Licenses" > Connect leads to a Xilinx web page that offers only Certificate Based Licenses (no Activation Based ones), and the only Vivado ones are either 30-day, or no-time-limit for WebPack 2015 or earlier.
So, I seem to be on the wrong track.
Has Xilinx stopped offering no-time-limit licenses for Vivado WebPACK?
Or are they available, but have to be Activation Based, and that requires a different procedure?
Or do I have to get an older version of Vivado WebPACK? If so, which version is the most recent that has no time limit, and where do we get it?
I figure Digilent must have a position regarding the best way to go on this, since without Vivado the Artix 7 products don't do very much.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on how to proceed. -- Graham
Question

The Digilent-recommended way to get a license for Vivado WebPACK doesn't seem to lead to anything other than a 30-day eval license. What am I missing?
I have a Cmod 7 (Artix 7), and am following the Digilent tutorials to get started. That leads to the "Installing Vivado" page here: https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/software/tutorials/vivado-install-guide/start, which describes where to download Vivado WebPACK (https://www.xilinx.com/support/download.html, which now offers version 2017.3).
