Foundation Express: Cannot find license file (-1,73:2) after installing 1.5i Service Pack
Record #5612
Product Family: Software
Product Line: Synopsys
Product Part: FPGA Express
Product Version: 3.0
Problem Title:
Foundation Express: Cannot find license file (-1,73:2) after installing 1.5i Service Pack
Problem Description:
URGENCY: hot
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
After installing the Express portion of the Foundation F1.5i Service Pack 1
with the default options set, you will see that you now have a Synopsys
program group. Attempting to start the standalone FPGA Express GUI
from this program group may lead to this message:
Cannot checkout an appropriate license for FPGA Express!
Clicking on OK leads to the following message:
ERROR STRING: Cannot find license file (-1,73:2) No such file or directory.
Solution 1:
Rather than using the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable, as is the case with
Foundation Express, this particular executable will look for the license only
in C:\FlexLM. Placing your license.dat in this directory will allow you to
launch the FPGA Express GUI from this program group.
The Foundation Express icon within Xilinx Foundation Series ->
Accessories is unaffected by the upgrade to Express 3.1.
