Is it correct?

Is there a way to convert Spartan code to Spartan XL if I do not use special
'XL
features?

Is there a way to upgrade FNDTN 1.4 to generate XL code other than to
purchase
FNDTN 2.1? (I want to obtain the result quickly, but purchasing here is
sloooow).

I didn't find on Xilinx Web words about an upgrade. Is it possible at all?

I appreciate any hints or links where to address my question.
Thank you.
