Title: Meaning of MSR, USR, QSR and ISR
Post by pancho_hideboo on Apr 24^th, 2008, 8:01am

EDA tool guys often use terms such as MSR, USR, QSR and ISR.

Maybe MSR is acronym of Maintenance Service Release.
USR is User Service Release, I think.

But I don't know QSR and ISR.
What do they mean ?

I think what they stand for is:
quarterly service release
interim service release

but you'll have to get a Cadence rep to tell you what this really *means* ;)

Thanks for response.

I understand MSR, USR and QSR are public release.
On the other hand, ISR is special release (hotfix release for specific problem).
Is this correct ?

ISRs are available on SourceLink, which I think is as public as you get for commercial software.
