Foundation: VHDL entry option is not selectable
Record #984
Product Family: Software
Product Line: Aldec
Product Part: Foundation HDL Editor
Problem Title:
Foundation: VHDL entry option is not selectable
Problem Description:
VHDL is not a selectable option (grayed out) when starting
the HDL Editor or creating a symbol with the New Symbol
Wizard.
This is a licensing issue. The known causes are:
1) VHDL feature was not purchased.
2) Starting the Foundation Project Manager without a Xilinx
security key connected to the parallel port of the PC.
3) Incorrectly programmed or unprogrammed Xilinx security
key.
Solution 1:
You will need to quit and restart the Foundation Project
Manager with a correctly programmed security key on your PC's
parallel port.
You can check your key's programming from within the
Foundation Project Manager by selecting Applications ->
Keylock Utility. Both the Foundation and X-VHDL features
must be enabled.
