Problem Title:
NGDBUILD: ERROR:basnb - SECURITY ERROR -- Unable to lock license for
ngdbuild: No such feature exists (-5,116:2) No such file or directory.



Problem Description:
Keywords: ngdbuild, M1, SECURITY ERROR, basnb

Urgency: standard

General Description:
  The license.dat file can/may be unintentionally reformatted
on the PACKAGE specification.  When the license.dat file has no carraige
return right after the '\' preceding the COMPONENTS line, i.e.

example with bad PACKAGE specification:

     PACKAGE ALI-STD-PC xilinxd 1.000 C0901041EBE4CB132AC6 \ COMPONENTS
="system-PC bit-PC xc3000D-PC xc4000X-PC xc5200X-PC \
ngd2vhdl-PC verilog-PC " \
OPTIONS=SUITE


Solution 1:

For a node-lock license, make sure that the first and last character of the lice
nse file is a '#' sign.  If you include the material before the and after the '#
' sign, the security error message will occur.



Solution 2:

   There are a number of reasons how this can happen:
inadvertant editing of the license.dat file, improper
reformatting from a text editor prior to saving the
file, etc

   Manually modify the PACKAGE specification line to
read correctly, inserting the carraige return in the
appropriate place (right after the backslash). i.e.:

Example with good PACKAGE specification:

  PACKAGE ALI-STD-PC xilinxd 1.000 C0901041EBE4CB132AC6 \
COMPONENTS="system-PC bit-PC xc3000D-PC xc4000X-PC xc5200X-PC \
ngd2vhdl-PC verilog-PC " \
