Product Part: map

Product Version: 1.4

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


Problem Description:
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 (-5,116).

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, B SX, 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 la rger 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 variable from the inst allation settings, the tools are most likely still using the Temporary (limited - Base) license that
  is included with the tools. This license can be found in the fndtn\data directory and will have a s
oftware package type of FND-BOX-PC (Foundation tools).
