Has anyone any experience in using Xilinx floating licenses for IP
cores? I have tried to get a bought license to work for several weeks
now with no success! For interested readers I have pasted in some
commands and printouts below.

****** I work in a Linux environment ******

As You can see the lmutil lmstat command finds the rs_encoder_v6 license
on the server but not the xilcmgr tool which is used by coregen. Both
tools are included in the Xilinx installation.

******************************
When running the following command in a shell the license is found but
not from within coregen.

/neti/tools/xilinx/10.1i_sp1/ISE/bin/lin/lmutil lmstat -c 2200@conny -f
rs_encoder_v6

Flexible License Manager status on Tue 6/3/2008 13:59

License server status: 2200@conny
License file(s) on conny: /usr/local/flexlm/Xilinx.dir/license.dat:

conny: license server UP (MASTER) v8.4

Vendor daemon status (on conny):

xilinxd: UP v6.1
Feature usage info:

Users of rs_encoder_v6: (Total of 9999 licenses issued; Total of 0
licenses in use)

************************************************************
Below is the debug printouts from xlicmgr (which I expect is the tool
used by coregen). The command is executed on my local machine named
dave, the license server is running on a server named conny. lmhostid
for conny is "8085a19b" and this is th hostid the license is generated
for. lmhostid for dave is "00508dd90ba1". The "Current host ID:" in
the debug information is set to the hostid of the local machine (dave),
is this correct?
