Xilinx IP Licensing Install Checklist

If your IP license installation is not working, please review the following checklist to help debug your installation:

1. Did you install the archive to the proper location?
   
   
   • See the instructions documented in this link.
2. Are you generating the core on the machine for which the license was generated?
   
   
   • If the license has been generated for a particular machine, the core can only be generated (using either XPS or Core Generator™ as appropriate) on that same machine.
     
     
3. Have you requested the license for the correct product, and have you confirmed that it is the correct licensing level (Simulation-Only, Hardware Evaluation, or Full)?
   
   
   • 7.1i and Later Versions of CORE Generator:
     
     • To check on the licensing status for a specific core, right click on the core in the CORE Generator catalog panel and select View License Status.
       
       
   • 6.3i and Later Versions of XPS:
     
     • Add the core to your project (or MHS file), then from within the XPS GUI, right click on the IP core in the System tab in XPS and select "View CoreLicense Status" to view the license status information for that core and check for inconsistencies between the reported settings for the host ID, licensed product name and licensing level ("Hardware Evaluation" or "Full/Bought").

   • Legacy Versions of CORE Generator and XPS:
     
     
     • Refer to these checklist instructions if you are using 6.2i XPS or 6.3i CORE Generator
