Error: (vsim-1) Unable to checkout verification license - required for testbench features (randomize, randcase, randsequence, covergroup)

Description

When you run EMIF or PHYLite simulation with Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition, you might see the error below:

# ** Error: Failure to checkout svverification license feature.
# ** Error: (vsim-1) Unable to checkout verification license - required for testbench features (randomize, randcase, randsequence, covergroup).

Resolution

1. Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition does not support advanced verification features. Siemens EDA QuestaSim* needs to be purchased to perform advanced verification.

2. The elaboration option -nocvg can be used as a workaround to simulate EMIF or PHYLite example designs if Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition is used as the simulation tool.
