The error message itself says that your tool is unable to get the license for the Architecture you are targetting.

 

Had you installed a proper valid license ?

Re: unable to synthesis with evaluation licence

Hi Vijay,

 

If you've downloaded 30-day evaluation license, how did you install it?

 

You can either place it at %HOME%\.Xilinx directory (typically C:\.Xilinx in Windows) or

set XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE to specifically point to the license file.

 

Please have a look at Installation and Licensing Guide > Installing Your License Key File
