I purchase the Zedboard and Iu2019m having trouble with licensing. Using the voucher I received with the board I generated a licence, which was emailed to me and I added the licence using the Manage Xilinx Licences software.
I also received software on a disk, ISE Design Suite 14 and Vivado Design Suite 2012. I installed Vivado and tried to create a new project, I got as far as u2018Default partu2019 where you select the board you want to use and there was no ZedBoard in the list. I discovered on the internet that Vivado 2012 doesnu2019t support the ZedBoard, even though I was sent this version with the ZedBoad.
I was able to install Vivado Design Suite 2013.4, which does support the ZedBoard. When I try to simulate or synthesis I get an error saying a valid licence was not found. I thought that the licence voucher I received, with the ZedBoard, allowed me to use Vivado Design Suite 2013.4.
FYI - Iu2019m using a windows 64-bit standalone laptop that doesnu2019t have an internet connection. I didnt generate the license on the machine I am using but im defiantly using the correct HOST ID serial number, the licence manager states the HOST ID matches.
My licence file states:
