Re: License File For Vivado 14.2 Download

Is there a way to specify which version of Xilinx Compilation Tools to use when compiling an FPGA VI? I want to try the Vivado version of the tools rather than the ISE version to see if there is any improvement. I've listed some information about my setup below.
In the past I have used the 'LabVIEW 2014 FPGA Module Xilinx Tools 14.7' to compile my code. But I also want to try the Vivado version, 'LabVIEW 2014 FPGA Module Xilinx Tools Vivado 2013.4', to see if it gives better results.
I have tried uninstalling the ISE 14.7 version of the tools, and installing the Vivado 2013.4 tools (so that the Vivado 2013.4 tools are the only xilinx tools installed on the computer). But LabVIEW still complains that the ISE 14.7 tools are not installed and does not compile the FPGA VI.
Thanks for the additional reference link! Although I am going to mark the other reply as the solution because this was really due to the fact that vivado does not support any virtex 5 FPGAs (not really a LabVIEW concern).
This AMI is a Ubuntu Linux image provided by Xilinx Inc. The AMI is pre-built with FPGA and SoC development and runtime tools to program the latest and greatest Xilinx devices. Vivado ML offers machine learning based optimization along with collaborative design environment and New advanced DFX features. Vivado supplies design teams with the tools and methodology needed to leverage C-based design and optimized reuse, IP sub-system reuse, integration automation and accelerated design closure.

Xilinx Vivado can be downloaded from its official website [1]. It is recommended to download "Vivado HLx .: All OS installer Single-File Download" tarball, but make sure not to be in a hurry, as it is a large download (over 70 GB). Update tarballs can also be downloaded and installed later. The other installer can also be used, but see the troubleshooting section below first.
The vivadoAUR package can be used to create a Vivado installation managed by pacman. Since the download of the installer is locked behind a login wall, it needs to be downloaded manually as outlined above and placed in the same directory as the PKGBUILD. The package only builds the latest major version (.), not the minor updates (..); if these are required, install Vivado manually instead.
The free WebPACK license does not let you disable this feature which uploads usage data to Xilinx's servers when generating a bitstream, but synthesis will complete just fine if the connection fails. A simple way to make it fail consistently for Vivado tools only is to set an invalid HTTPS proxy for it.
This is a problem with the rlwrap version bundled with Vivado, probably due to the lack of legacy vsyscall emulation in Arch Linux.To fix this issue, either drop rlwrap altogether (losing command history and auto-completion), or install rlwrap and edit the path to the rlwrap binary in the affected command startup script(s) from:
With OpenJDK 11 and Vivado display scaling activated, the menu and other UI element fonts may render without any anti-antialiasing regardless of desktop environment settings. This can be fixed by editing the Vivado launch script to append awt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on to the JVM options.
Xilinx Vivado contains modules called Intelectual Property (IP) cores and as the name suggests, you should expect licenses to be required for these modules. Two modes of licensing are possible: Floating (server) or Nodelocked (license file).
