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

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Software
  • Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition
  • External Memory Interfaces (EMIF) IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    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.
