PROCAPTURE: cannot recognize the Xilinx C key. (No valid license for product)


Record #588

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  ViewLogic

Problem Title:
PROCAPTURE: cannot recognize the Xilinx C key. (No valid license for
product)



Problem Description:
If the PRO Series software sees a ViewLogic key on the same port as the
Xilinx C key, the ViewLogic key hostid will override the Xilinx C key hostid
and the Software will return an error message.

If the user proceeds by selecting OK, PROcapture will run in a DEMO mode
which will allow the user to enter a design, but not save it.

CAUSE:

The PRO Series software has been re-written for explicit use with the Xilinx
C key and can only be used with the Xilinx C key.  The PRO Series software
looks for a ViewLogic key first and then a Xilinx C key.  When it finds the
ViewLogic AA or AB key, it returns the hostid and ends its search for a
Xilinx C key.  Because the license.wv file is not licensed for a ViewLogic
key, PROcapture will only run in DEMO mode.


Solution 1:

Remove all ViewLogic keys.
