Solved: Node locked license problem vc7

ali · ‎03-17-2017

Hello,

I have generated with my voucher of virtex-7 a node locked license, I have loaded it in Vivado and the license

manager shows that it was successfully loaded

However I'm not able to synthesis the design, Vivado is saying that I need a valid license for xc7vx485t, which I have loaded earlier

Any help is appreciated

@ali,

You need to change the NIC naming convention tto ethX.

Hello @ali,

Are you using supported version of Ubuntu OS? Only Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS (64-bit) is supported with Vivado 2016.4.

The license you have generated is unable to lock to your system host ID. Hence you are facing this error.

Can you attach license here ?

Ashish

For reference I have disabled the new network naming schema, by editing /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0"

sudo update-grub2

And Vivado works as expected!

Thanks very much for the quick help.
