- Critical Issue with Synplify Pro ME and Identify ME R2020.09MSP1-1 (Windows) software in batch mode
- Microchip identified a date dependent issue with Synplify Pro ME and Identify ME R2020.09MSP1-1 (Windows) software bundled with Libero SoC v2021.1. When the Synplify Pro ME and Identify ME tool is run in batch mode on Windows, the error message “This software has expired” is reported starting on Aug 31, 2021, thus preventing design synthesis and debug
- Solution(s)
- Install the updated versions of Synplify Pro ME and Identify ME R2020.09MSP1-1 (Windows) standalone software for Libero SoC v2021.1 that removes the date dependency by downloading it from the Synplify Pro ME and Identify ME webpage after Aug 30th, 2021. When running Synthesis and Identify within Libero SoC v2021.1, add a new Synthesis and Identify tool profile pointing to the synplify_pro.exe and identify_debugger.exe within the updated installation.
- Install Libero SoC v2021.2 Software to avoid Issues.
