Error 0001: Sysgen license checkout failed.

[nliyanage@90]

HI all,

I was tryng to run Lab_1 (https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2016_1/ug948-vivado-sysgen-tutorial.pdf) of System Generator for DSP on Vivado 2016.1 and R2015b MatLab combination. I'm getting below error and could not find a way to solve this. I'm starting the system generator as suggested in http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/41563.html. I have generated env.txt file and uploaded below.

Could somebody have a look at this kindly.

Hi @nliyanage@90,

Sysgen needs Sytem edition License, If you already have a valid license then can you please set the XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE to the location of license file.

Follow the below steps:

1. Open Xilinx License Configuration Manager.

2. Click on Manage License search path tab.

3. Set the XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE: C:\location\of\license\file\Xilinx.lic

4. Click on Set.

If this does not help, please attach the license file for further analysis. If you do not have a license. As from the attached env.txt I see the IP core licenses information only.

Note: if you just trying to practice and test the labs. You can just opt fora 30 day evaluation license that covers sysgen tool .

1. Check if you are using compatible version of tools . I would suggest you to use latest version of tool
https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/55830.html

2. Check your license status you should have license of sysgen

3. Check your environment variable . License should be setup correctly

4. check if you are able to run other designs . It look like you are doing ethernet hardware co-simulation

5. Download and set license of Ethernet IPs

Hope it may help you

Hi nliyanage@90,

I only see the IP licenses in the env report generated. Try installing the tool license first to bypass this error.

Also when i check the license manager,under the host id match column, its written as 'No' eventhough i have purchased the license. Could you help me with this?

Hi @jerry160990,

Can you please create a new thread and share the xinfo.txt and license file.
Run the below Tcl command in vivado Tcl console to generate xinfo.txt :
report_environment -file xinfo.txt

Which OS are you working upon?

As you mentioned that while you checked the license manager, under the host id match column its written as 'No' then can you please try regenerating/rehosting the license with the required hostid and check if that helps.

Thanks & Regards,
