design kit old links and VPCD software

Hi:
  I can log into the online support system. But I couldn't find the "four kit" which I need:AMSKIT 6.1 ,
RFKIT 8.1, RF DSGN 3.0, SOCKIT 7.1, LPKIT 8.2.  I found that this link : https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?pageName=ArticleContent&id=a1Od000000051SL&pageURL=ProductReleaseLifeCyclePage&oMenu=ViewProdRelLifecycle_End%20Release%20Dates)  told me the four kit had been suspended for update. I searched the internet and some people said that the LPKIT 8.2 had been integrated into the Insicive while the SOCKIT 7.1 AMSKIT and RFKIT had not been integrated into any existing product. Is it true? could u provide me the old link where I can download these kits? and I was told that the RF kit needed the VPCD(Virtuoso Passive Component Designer ) . had it been integrated into MMSIM 7.1 or it had a standalone installer?

 

thanks in advance.

    The RFDSGN3.0 release (which was for the VRFD product) and VPCD (which was the inductor synthesis tools) were end-of-lifed in 2008. I think the kits (AMSKIT, RFKIT) were dropped in a similar timeframe.

    So these don't exist any more, and are not supported any more. They were not integrated into other things, nor were they replaced.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
