If a feature is licensed in multiple locations, which license takes precedence?
For example, the ISE software license key is a component of both a System Edition and a Logic Edition license package.
If my license search path contains both of these packages, which one will be used if the ISE software license key is requested?
If a license component is available in multiple license packages, (for example, the ISE software Logic Edition, and System Edition), the license that is used is selected in the following order.
For certificate based licenses, you can override the precedence specified in items 2, 3, and 4 above with the use of the "sort" directive.
To use the sort directive, edit the applicable Increment lines of the license file and add "sort=1","sort=2", and so on.
A lower sort value takes precedence over a higher value.
Example:
SERVER My_server DISK_SERIAL_NUM=66dd7788 2100
USE_SERVER
VENDOR xilinxd
#
# System_Edition_Floating comes from Part Number 0451078
INCREMENT System_Edition_Floating xilinxd 2011.11 permanent 1 E64D5B2BB24Csort=2\
VENDOR_STRING=System_Edition_Floating,software,permanent,_8480_2086_1308693897_027 \
ISSUER="Xilinx Inc" START=19-Jun-2011 TS_OK
#
INCREMENT Logic_Edition xilinxd 2012.04 permanent 1 5FD134253129 sort=1\
VENDOR_STRING=Logic_Edition,software,permanent,_176078851_172415124_172491182_962 \
ISSUER="Xilinx Inc" START=01-Dec-2010 TS_OK
In this example, the Logic Edition increment will be used first, if available, for a license component that exists in both packages.
Note: For activation licenses, all FEATURE and INCREMENT lines obtained from trusted storage are sorted as if they had sort value of zero (0).
This ensures that they will appear first in the sort order before certificate license file features.
As a result, the 'sort" option is not available for activation licenses.
