CMAC design locked license does not work - no bitstream generation

[namabo]

I have the same problem reported to this question.

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Installation-and-Licensing/My-node-locked-license-does-not-work-with-CMAC-example-design/td-p/829101

I'm working on KCU116-Vivado 2018.3, but the two solutions provided doesn't work.

In particular I tried to set XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE pointing to locked license (located in ~/.Xilinx) and core ip license

(located on ~/Vivado_installation/Vivado/Vivado/2018.2/data/ip/core_licenses).

In license Manager I verified that the CMAC was correctly loaded.

Then I followed the second step, reset and generate ip, but in the tlc console the warning:

"WARNING: [IP_Flow 19-650] IP license key 'cmac_an_lt@2017.10' is enabled with a Design_Linking license."

Continue to be shown.

After these steps, in the IP Status, for CMAC IP it reports Design Licence.

How can I get it works with the new locked license?

Than you

I certify that the procedure listed above and suggested does not work on vivado 2018.3.

The woraround I found is :

1) go on installation path where is stored the licence of the IPs:

<your_install_path>/Vivado/2018.3/data/ip/core_licenses

2) Open the Actual license and delete the lines relative to cmac_uplus Design License:

INCREMENT cmac_usplus xilinxd 2018.11 permanent uncounted \
B59CA17AF372 \
VENDOR_STRING=License_Type:Design_Linking;ipman,cmac_usplus,ip,permanent,_0_0_0 \
HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="Xilinx Inc" START=06-Dec-2018 TS_OK

3) Copy the text of license file locked for your machine and paste it on the top of Xilinx core license file:

In this way I see in the Report IP Status window "Purchase" status instead of Design License.

Hope this could be useful for others dev.

Regards.
