I have installed Xilinx 14.7 but I'm unable to open its configuration manager even after several trials to put in a license as Xilinx gives me this error:

ERROR:Map:258: - A problem was encountered attempting to get the license for this architecture.

How can I fix this?

  • Xilinx requires a license file or license server to complete the Map stage. If you purchased a Xilinx development board, they usually include a node-locked license file (*.lic). To get that work, create an environment variable to point to the location of the *.lic or the license server. – David K Jun 03 '18 at 05:55
  • Do you have a license for Xilinx ISE? – Paebbels Jun 03 '18 at 12:19
  • no I think I don't have one ,how can I get it? as the license manager isn't opening at all – Mary Jun 06 '18 at 17:28

You can get the license here:

https://www.xilinx.com/support/licensing_solution_center.html

Once you download the license file (it will have the .lic file extension) you can place it in the .../Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/coregen/core_licenses directory

The exact path to where you need to put it depends on where you installed the software. I installed mine to /opt/ so my path would be /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/coregen/core_licenses
