HPS simulation issue

Question

Hello.I'm currently working on a client project using Quartus Prime Standard for a Cyclone V SoC device.I have experience successfully designing similar projects in the past, including full simulations with QuestaSim. However, after renewing my Quartus license recently, I've encountered a challenge.Intel seems to have removed the VIP AXI3 license, which prevents me from simulating the HPS subsystem.The following are missing now in my renewed license file:################################################################################# FEATURE START# The following is a license file for the Mentor Graphics AXI3 Master BFM# Number of seat licenses is 2# License Expires 14-Mar-2024INCREMENT mgcvipaeaxi mgcld 2024.01 14-mar-2024 uncounted \DF8654DF69D60ABB52D1 \VENDOR_STRING=6CA8D042 HOSTID=a05950591ed8 ISSUER=Intel SN=285321107 \SIGN2="01F9 B449 B3CC DCE9 2E9C A742 50FA BB3F 367F 3F47 4376 4DC1 \2B91 2260 D0AA 05D2 5F53 FCBC 6C6F 4768 3911 6843 692B B2F9 38AD 3244 \0244 A018 B815 C6B2"# FEATURE END################################################################################# FEATURE START# The following is a license file for the Mentor Graphics AXI3 Slave BFM# Number of seat licenses is 2# License Expires 14-Mar-2024INCREMENT mgcvipaeaxi mgcld 2024.01 14-mar-2024 uncounted \DF8654DF69D60AB152DB \VENDOR_STRING=6CA8D042 HOSTID=a05950591ed8 ISSUER=Intel SN=285321109 \SIGN2="18EB 781B 0AE6 5B63 0046 5289 2A62 6E47 E440 C3F3 3897 19F4 \6F97 A2D6 E5CA 164E 7904 72F3 3AD6 1398 BE8C 35C7 0A25 6233 1738 32C8 \6F76 3C99 92B9 F477"# FEATURE ENDThe error I'm getting:--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------# ** ERROR: failed to get a license (mgcvipaeaxi) for 'axi'# ** Check the license environment (e.g. LM_LICENSE_FILE or MGLS_LICENSE_FILE using lmutils), the transcript and any logs.# --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------# # ** Fatal: (vsim-3960) Foreign module requested halt.I've tried contacting Intel support through their forums and a support ticket, but haven't received a response yet.Does anyone have experience working around this limitation in Quartus Prime Standard?

Hello

Thanks for your update. Upon checking with Customer service and Marketing team, regrettably we no longer provide/shipping AXI3 BFMs with Quartus. The AXI3 BFMs can be purchased from Siemens directly.

We have not heard from you and It is not recommended to keep a Case idle too long without activities. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.
