If your IP license installation is not working, please review the following checklist to help debug your installation:
View the instructions.
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.
To check on the licensing status for a specific core, run the xlicmgr command in a command shell window (Windows) or UNIX shell.
Type the command:
xlicmgr status
Review the output to verify that a license can be found for the desired product and has the correct level of licensing ("Hardware Evaluation" or "Full/Bought").
Details on how to run xlicmgr can be found here.

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").
Click here to see what a license status dialog for a Hardware Evaluation license for an OPB PCI core would look like.
Open up the core in CORE Generator and review the license status dialog message that is displayed when the core customization GUI loads up to determine the licensing status. If you have a Full License installed, no dialog will be displayed.
To check on the status for a specific core, run the xlicmgr command in a command shell window (Windows) or UNIX shell:
xlicmgr status -c <feature_name>
where <feature_name> is the feature name for the product as indicated in the email with the attached core_licenses .zip file.
Details on how to run xlicmgr can be found here.
