How to Get and Install a Vivado License

Vivado is a software tool developed by Xilinx for designing, synthesizing, and implementing FPGA and ASIC systems. Vivado supports various Xilinx devices, such as Zynq, UltraScale, and Versal. To use Vivado, you need to obtain and install a license that matches your product edition and device family.

Types of Vivado Licenses

There are two types of Vivado licenses: node-locked and floating. A node-locked license is tied to a specific machine or host ID, and can only be used on that machine. A floating license is stored on a license server, and can be shared by multiple users on different machines, as long as the number of concurrent users does not exceed the number of licenses available on the server.

There are also different levels of Vivado licenses: WebPACK, Design Edition, System Edition, and HLS. WebPACK is a free license that supports a limited set of devices and features. Design Edition is a paid license that supports all devices and features except for system-level design tools. System Edition is a paid license that supports all devices and features, including system-level design tools such as System Generator and Model Composer. HLS is a paid license that supports high-level synthesis for C/C++ and SystemC code.

How to Obtain a Vivado License

To obtain a Vivado license, you need to have an account on the Xilinx website. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free. Once you have an account, you can access the Xilinx Product Licensing Site to manage your licenses.

If you want to obtain a free WebPACK license, you can follow these steps:

    • After completing the installation of Vivado, launch the Xilinx License Configuration Manager (XCLM) from the Start menu or the Help menu in Vivado.
    • Select the option "Get Free ISE WebPACK, ISE/Vivado IP or PetaLinux Licenses".
    • Select the products you want to license, such as Vivado WebPACK or IP cores.
    • Click "Connect Now" to connect to the Xilinx website and generate your license file.
    • Save the license file to your preferred location.
    • Click "Load License" in XCLM and browse to the license file you saved.
    • Click "OK" to complete the licensing process.

    If you want to obtain a paid Design Edition, System Edition, or HLS license, you can follow these steps:

      • Purchase the product you want to license from the Xilinx Online Store or an authorized distributor.
      • You will receive a notification email with licensing instructions from Xilinx. Locate this email and follow the instructions to obtain your license file.
      • You can choose between two formats of license files: .lic or .xml. A .lic file is a text file that contains your license information. An .xml file is an encrypted file that requires activation online.
      • If you choose a .lic file, you can copy it to your machine or host ID that runs Vivado. You can also copy it to a license server if you have a floating license. You can then load the .lic file in XCLM using the "Copy License" option.
      • If you choose an .xml file, you need to activate it online using the Xilinx Product Licensing Site. You can then download the activated .lic file and load it in XCLM using the "Copy License" option.

      How to Install a Vivado License

      To install a Vivado license, you need to load it in XCLM using one of these options:

        • "Copy License": This option allows you to load a .lic file from your local machine or network location. You can browse to the .lic file and click "OK" to load it.
        • "Activate License": This option allows you to activate and load an .xml file from the Xilinx Product Licensing Site. You need to be connected to the internet for this option. You can browse to the .xml file and click "OK" to activate and load it.

        Once you load your license file in XCLM, you can view your license status by clicking on the "View License Status" option. You can see the details of your license, such as product name, version, expiration date, device support, and feature support. You can also see if your license is node-locked or floating, and if it is in use or available.

        If you have multiple licenses, you can prioritize them by clicking on the "Prioritize Licenses" option. You can drag and drop the licenses to change their order. The license at the top of the list will be used first by Vivado.

        How to Troubleshoot Vivado License Issues

        Sometimes, you may encounter some issues with your Vivado license, such as license expiration, license mismatch, license corruption, or license server failure. In this section, we will provide some tips on how to troubleshoot and resolve these common issues.

        License Expiration

        If your Vivado license has expired, you will see a warning message in XCLM or Vivado, indicating that your license is no longer valid. To renew your license, you need to contact Xilinx or your distributor and purchase a new license. You can then obtain and install the new license file as described in the previous sections.

        If you have a WebPACK license, you can renew it for free by following these steps:

          • Go to the Xilinx Product Licensing Site and log in with your account.
          • Select the option "Renew License" under the "Manage Licenses" tab.
          • Select the WebPACK license you want to renew and click "Renew".
          • Download the renewed license file and load it in XCLM using the "Copy License" option.

          License Mismatch

          If your Vivado license does not match your product edition or device family, you will see an error message in XCLM or Vivado, indicating that your license is not compatible with your design. To resolve this issue, you need to obtain and install a license that matches your product edition and device family. You can purchase a new license from the Xilinx Online Store or an authorized distributor, or upgrade your existing license by contacting Xilinx or your distributor.

          License Corruption

          If your Vivado license file is corrupted or modified, you will see an error message in XCLM or Vivado, indicating that your license is invalid or tampered. To resolve this issue, you need to obtain and install a new license file from the original source. You can download the original license file from the Xilinx Product Licensing Site if you have an online account, or contact Xilinx or your distributor if you have an offline account.

          License Server Failure

          If your Vivado license is stored on a license server, you need to make sure that the server is running and accessible from your machine. If the server is down or unreachable, you will see an error message in XCLM or Vivado, indicating that your license is not available or cannot be checked out. To resolve this issue, you need to check the status of the server and fix any network or configuration problems that may prevent the communication between the server and your machine. You can also try to restart the server or use a different server if possible.

          You can also change the license server address by using the "Manage Xilinx Licenses" option in Vivado. You can access this option from the Help menu or the Tools menu. You can select the "Use a network license server" option and enter the server name or IP address, and optionally the port number, in the text box. You can also use a comma-separated list of server addresses if you have multiple servers.

          Setting the License Environment Variables

          If you want to use environment variables to control your Vivado license settings, you can do this by setting the following variables:

            • XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE: This variable specifies the location of your .lic file or your license server address. You can set it to a local file path, a network file path, or a server name or IP address. You can also use a colon-separated list of locations if you have multiple sources.
            • XILINX_USER_LICENSE_FILE: This variable specifies an additional location of your .lic file that overrides XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE. You can set it to a local file path or a network file path. You can only use one location for this variable.
            • XILINX_PREFER_LICENSE: This variable specifies which license you prefer to use when you have multiple licenses for Vivado. You can set it to a product name, such as WebPACK, Design_Edition, System_Edition, or HLS.

            You can set these variables in your system settings or in your command-line shell before launching Vivado. For example, on Windows, you can use these commands:

            set XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=C:\Xilinx\license\mylicense.lic

            set XILINX_USER_LICENSE_FILE=\\server\license\sharedlicense.lic

            set XILINX_PREFER_LICENSE=System_Edition

            On Linux or Mac OS, you can use these commands:

            export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=/home/user/Xilinx/license/mylicense.lic

            export XILINX_USER_LICENSE_FILE=/mnt/server/license/sharedlicense.lic

            export XILINX_PREFER_LICENSE=System_Edition
