    Description

    Due to missing encrypted Verilog library files you may see the below error message when simulating a VHDL version of the 10Gb Ethernet MAC MegaCore® function generated in Quartus® II software version 13.0 using ModelSim®. This happens only with VHDL and not Verilog when you have a single language license of ModelSim.

    # ** Error: Failure to obtain a Verilog simulation license. Unable to checkout any of these license features: msimhdlmix; qhsimvl; or msimhdlsim# ** Error: (vsim-3039) ./..//AlteraTenGigMac.vhd(4743): Instantiation of ‘altera_avalon_st_pipeline_stage’ failed.

    Resolution

    A patch is available to fix this problem in the Quartus II software version 13.0. Download and install patch 0.22 from the appropriate link below:

    • Download the version 13.0 patch 0.22 for Windows (.exe)
    • Download the version 13.0 patch 0.22 for Linux (.run)
    • Download the Readme for the Quartus II software version 13.0 patch 0.22 (.txt)

    This problem will be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.

    Добрый день!

    Помогите пожалуйста — уже несколько раз происходит такая ошибка при очередном запуске моделирования ModelSim 5.8d выдает сообщение Error: Failure to obtain a Verilog simulation license.

    На одном из форумов я нашел сообщение, что если стереть файл vsim.wlf то работа востановится. Проблема о одновременной доступности файла…что ли.. так оно и было — стирал и запускал- все работает. Но вот очеродной запуск — и уже этот способ не работает. Я уже задолбался — и стирал и перезаписывал — помогите — проект горит!

    Have you set the environment variables MGLS_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE? both variables must contain the path and name of the file: eg MGLS_LICENSE_FILE=c:licensesmodel.txt or something similar.

    Hi chipseller, thank you for your response, yes I set the environment variables MGLS_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE, but the error persists. Modelsim work and he gives no error when I launch it, he compile the project but when I simulate he returns the error.

    I have this same problem. I am using the Altera Modelsim version and the quartus license gets served just fine, but the alteramtivsim license is unabled to be checked out. lmstat shows that it is fine and the server log reports no errors. Just when your run vsim it will report it can’t get the VHDL simulation license.

    How did you verify that license works perfectly? Presumably this means running Mentor’s licensing wizard which detects and reports those types of things.

    You might also check using Windows Task Manager to see if there is still a ‘vsimk’ process running. This process starts up when you start the simulator. If your previous run ended abnormally, sometimes vsimk doesn’t get killed. Then when you restart Modelsim and try to start a sim it gives the error you report since the license software sees ‘vsimk’ running and that you want to start a second instance but you’re not licensed to do so.

    I solved my version of the problem. The issue is that the mgcld available through the license download section of altera’s website is version 10.8, but the modelsim S/W seems to require v11.6. I discovered this issue and the location from this forum: https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34677

    Pertinent post there is:


    I think you can find the mgcld 11.6 in quartus II installation directory also:

    Windows: <Quartus II installation path>modelsim_aewin32aloemmgcld.exe
    Linux: <Quartus II installation path>/modelsim_ae/linuxaloem/mgcld

    Hi guys,

When i try to simulate a simple EXOR i get the following error:

# ** Warning: A ModelSim starter license was detected and will be used,
even though you have installed ModelSim XE. You should obtain an XE license
in order to access ModelSim XE's full capabilities.Licensing checkout error
with feature xe-starter. (Error code -9.)
# The hostid of the license does not match the hostid for this machine.
# One of the following is likely:
#    -The license is intended for another machine.
#    -A dongle is not plugged into this machine.
#    -The dongle driver is not installed or is not functioning properly.
#    -The hostid mechanism has been changed or removed from this machine.
# ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation license.
# Error loading design
# Error: Error loading design
#        Pausing macro execution
# MACRO ./my_exor_tb.fdo PAUSED at line 9

Can anyone help me???

Thanks all!

That seems pretty obvious, you haven't got a valid license.

All the information you need is in the message you quoted.
