IP evaluation license warning

[yj]

I have 3 IP's in my project, and I am able to generate bit stream for my project.

But I see that the IP sources tab, now has these red lock across the IP file and getting this warning. Does it has any impact over my project?

I'm using the TEMAC Xilinx IP in trial mode. Vivado 2020.1.

Also what's the limit of the trial period of this IP? It's already been 20 days since I generated the license for it.

Hi @yj 

There is usually the red lock when you are using the project in a different vivado version, if the IP has changed (for example patch), if you changed the part for the project.

If you want to avoid this and make sure everything is correct, run report IP status and upgrade the IP.

For the trial period, it will depends on the license. I believe even when the license is expired you can generate a new one. But this will only be the time you can generate the bitstream.

In the bitstream, if it was generated with an evaluation license, the IP will include a timeout. So your project will only work for few hours.
