Problem Title:
F1.4,M1.4,Map,license,Error: basse ... No such feature exists (-5,116)


Problem Description:
Keywords: Foundation, Demo, Temp, license, Map, basse, (-5,116)

Urgency:  Standard

General Description:
When trying to implement a design, an error is produced in map:

Error: basse - Unable to lock license for xc4013e. No such feature exists (-5,11
6).

The part described may be any part larger then 10k gates (eg XC4013E or greater,
 XC5215, XC4013XL or greater, XC4028EX or greater)





Solution 1:

The error comes from trying to target a part larger than those supported by the
BASE package (BAS, BSX, BOX).

To verify the license being used:
1. Verify the path assigned to the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable:
   Win95:
	 At a DOS prompt, enter:
	    echo %lm_license_file%

   WinNT:
	 Check the environment variable settings

	 This should produce a path, pointing to your license
	 file.

2. Follow this path and open the license.dat file.
   On the INCREMENT or PACKAGE line, note the software package
   (eg FND-BAS-PC, FND-BSX-PC, FND-EXP-PC, FND-STD-PC,
    FND-BOX-PC ALI-BAS-PC, ALI-STD-PC).

If the software package has BAS, BSX or BOX, then it is a BASE package and does
not support parts larger than 10k gates.
BOX is the temporary license provided with the installation of the tools (it has
 another limitation - Bitgen is not licensed).

If the user has a STD or EXP license, but has not changed the LM_LICENSE_FILE va
riable from the installation settings, the tools are most likely still using the
 Temporary (limited - Base) license that is included with the tools. This licens
e can be found in the fndtn\data directory and will have a software package type
 of FND-BOX-PC (Foundation tools).
