I'm trying to use the AXI VIP mgcvipaeaxi4 included in Quartus with the Synopsys VCS simulator, but I can't seem to get a license:

There is an INCREMENT mgcvipaeaxi4 entry in license.dat

Is there a special license for mgcvipaeaxi4 which is not included in Quartus?

Another odd part is that the SALT_LICENSE_SERVER is empty in the above output, even though if I add the following in my testbench:

initial begin
$display("%t - %m : begin process env dump",$time);
$system("/bin/env");
$display("%t - %m : end process env dump",$time);
end

I see that SALT_LICENSE_SERVER is set in the simulation process according to the env output.

Did anybody manage to use the Quartus included mgcvipaeaxi4 with Synopsys VCS?

Hi zutalors,


Could you attach your licence .dat to review it?

Have you verified that all the  environment variables are set correctly (LM_LICENSE_FILE, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, SALT_LICENSE_SERVER)?

What version of Quartus and Siemens VIP are you using?
