An improved approach is described for allowing designers to identify and utilize suitable IP for an electronic design. An architecture is provided that includes an IP portal and/or chip estimator to identify suitable IP from a catalog of IP, which is integrated with a hosted design environment to use and test that IP for the user's specific electronic design. An authorization mechanism may be used to control access to the IP from the IP catalog. This approach greatly enhances the probability that IP suppliers will be successfully connected with the target consumers of those IP blocks.
