License Installation

For Windows: use a semicolon (;) to separate the licenses.

CopyC:\flexlm\License.dat;1702@server

For Linux: use a colon (:) to separate the licenses.

Copy1704@server1:1702@server2

The environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE is wrongly set to a node locked license format. Set the environment variable for floating license in the format <port_no>@<hostname>.

This error appears when the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE has not been set. See the Libero Software Installation and Licensing Guide for the steps to set the variable.

CopyLicense checkout unsuccessful: synplifypro_actel
Checkout failed - synplifypro_actel Cannot find license file.
The license files (or license server system network addresses) attempted are listed as follows.
Use LM_LICENSE_FILE to use a different license file, or contact your software provider for a license file.

FlexNet Licensing error: -1,234. System Error: 2 ""

Follow these steps:

1. 1.Copy the License.dat file to the licence location given in the previous error, then set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to that directory.
2. 2.Copy the License.dat file into theG:\Microsemi\Libero_SoC_v11.8\SynplifyPro folder, and set LM_LICENSE_FILE to G:\Microsemi\Libero_SoC_v11.8\SynplifyPro\License.dat using the earlier example.

Microchip does not provide site ID for logging into the Synopsys portal. If prompted to enter a site ID while installing the stand-alone Synplify pro, enter any three-digit number. See the Knowledge Base Article for more information.

Yes, May 2020 onwards, Silver license supports the mixed language simulation with the ModelSim ME Pro tool integrated in Libero SoC v11.8 or later releases.

1. 1.Check if the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE is set properly.
2. 2.Check if the supported Libero version for this license is used.
3. 3.Download the latest Daemons version available on Libero SoC Licensing.

1. 1.Click Sentinel Downloads to download HASP/LDK 7.32 command-line drivers.
2. 2.Extract the drivers and open the Command Prompt (in Run as Administrator mode) and browse to the haspdinst.exe file.
3. 3.Remove the existing drivers by executing haspdinst.exe -purge.
4. 4.Install the drivers again by executing haspdinst.exe -I.
5. 5.Ensure that the antivirus and firewall are disabled while installing the drivers. Then, install the dongle drivers from Libero SoC Licensing.

The following error does not interfere with the Libero flow.

Copy(snpslmd) Error: Incompatible vendor daemon found. The vendor daemon is not supported in version. 
Error: Please upgrade to the latest SCL version. Go to www.synopsys.com/support/licensing-installation-computeplatforms/licensing.html.

The reasons for the error are as follows:

• Synopsys tools (SynplifyPro) verifies all the license daemons in a license file.
• SynplifyPro recognizes only the Synopsys license daemon snpslmd, and reports the other daemons as incompatible.
• As a Microchip license file consists of three license daemons (actlmgrd, mgcld, and snpslmd). Synopsys tools always give out two incompatible error messages—one for actlmgrd and the other for mgcld. Therefore, these incompatible error messages can be safely ignored.

• Check the license file for the word NULL and delete them all from the license file and re-host the license.
• Contact the Microsemi Customer Portal to receive a newly generated license, if the issue persists.

This error happens because of a missing certificate for Synplify in Windows. To fix it, download the certificate from Digicert website.

Synplify Pro batch mode requires a floating license. This is a limitation implemented by Synopsys. All the floating licenses, whether paid or free, support batch flow.

The possible solutions are listed as follows:

• Update the licensing daemons to the latest ones available in the Libero SoC Licensing page.
• Libero 12.0 and later versions license works only with the latest daemons.

Node-locked license and USB license do not support remote desktop login. Only floating license, supports remote desktop login.

To obtain a Libero SoC Design Suite license, see Libero License Selector Guide . See Libero SoC Licensing to find details of the device support for different licenses.

Microchip does not support hosting licenses on a virtual machine. It is recommended to use a physical machine as the license server.

See Libero Software Download and License Installation Quick Start Guide for more information.

See Libero SoC Licensing (Downloads) to get the licensing daemons.

Check for case sensitivity of the license file path and the one saved in environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. In addition, the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE must be set under user variables. See Libero Software Download and License Installation Quick Start Guide .

USB Dongle licenses support was discontinued by Microchip. See PDN21005 and PDN19017 for more details.

Libero SoC v12.2 and later does not have any restriction with the Synplify Pro tool. For Libero SoC v12.1 or earlier versions, Synopsys tools do not work beyond the distance of 50 miles or beyond the geographic locations. See KB Article-KI8914 for more information.

This indicates that there is an issue with your account. Contact technical support team by creating a case from the Microsemi Customer Portal.

You cannot convert a paid license from a node locked to a floating type. You must purchase a new floating license and vice versa. For Silver and Evaluation node locked license, you can generate a new floating license from the SoC portal webpage at Microsemi SoC Licensing. For Libero paid license, contact the FPGA Software Support Team by indicating the old and the new disk ID and the software ID of your license.

Contact the technical support team at Customer Portal.

Contact the FPGA Software Support Team along with the new email address as well as the existing email address.

You can purchase the paid Libero and IP licenses using Microchip Direct.

The license daemon “actlmgrd” is a 32-bit application. The latest “actlmgrd v11.16.1.0” version on Windows requires VC++ 2015 Redistributable 32-bit library vc_redist.x86.exe. This program can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. For Linux daemons, version v11.16.1.0, 32-bit system packages redhat-lsb.i686 and glibc.i686 are required.
