License problems

Trying to simulate the project seems to have caused license issues. Before simulation the project would compile and download ok.

Tried to simulated from the menue tools->run simulation tool. This failed, and told me to see a rpt file, which said license was not available for a mega function.

After this the project no longer compiles - there is an error "Error (204009): Can't generate netlist output files because the license for encrypted file "D:/projects/software/yuv2rgb/altera/fifo_ddr/auk_ddr_hp_controller.vhd" is not available

Can anyone shed light on what needs to be done to fix this?

Thank you!

Steve

    you'll be able to configure an FPGA with an IP that you do not have a license, this is known as the OpenCore Plus feature

    you'll also be able to simulate the core using the .vo/.vho file for most IP - though the memory IP uses source HDL for simulation, not a .vo/.vho netlist. follow the directions for simulating the example design in the User Guide

    i don't think you'll be able to do a full chip simulation:

    No .vqm, or atom-level .vo, or

    .vho files are generated.

    Thank you for the help! Not trying to simulate anymore, just compile - works fine now.
