There are two types of license: floating license and node-locked license.
The VAI Pruner finds licenses using an environment variable XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE. For floating license server, you need to specify
the path in the form port@hostname. For example, export
XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=2001@xcolicsvr1
. For node-locked license file, you
need to specify a particular license file or directory where all the .lic files located.
To specify a particular file:
export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=/home/user/license.lic
To specify a directory:
export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=/home/user/license_dir
If you have multiple licenses, you can specify them at the same time,
each separated by a
colon:
export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=1234@server1:4567@server2:/home/user/license.lic
For node-locked license, it can also be installed by copying to $HOME/.Xilinx directory.
