Simulation engine failed to start: A valid license was not found for simulation

Hi,
I'd like to run xsim by clicking "Run Simulation" in Vivado 2015.2 . However, in the Tcl console I see this error:

Vivado Simulator 2015.2
ERROR: [Simtcl 6-50] Simulation engine failed to start: A valid license was not found for simulation. Please run the Vivado License Manager for assistance in determining which features and devices are licensed for your system.
Please see the Tcl Console or the Messages for details.
However, if you look at the attached image, you'll see that my installed licenses include the license name "Simulation".
Why is Vivado complaining about "Simulation engine failed to start: A valid license was not found for simulation" ?
Thank you,
Rob

Hi Rob,
The reason for the license error is: Hostid mismatch. i.e., the hostid of the machine is different from the hostid in the license file.
I observe that the license file is generated with hostid: 52540019ee7e. You can cross check your hostid of the machine by running the command: lmutil lmhostid
You can rehost the license file using the steps mentioned in the section "Rehost or change the license server host for a license key file" in the following user guide: http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx14_5/irn.pdf
Thanks,
Vinay

[Common 17-345] A valid license was not found for feature 'Implementation' and/or device 'xc7z045'.

Theimplementation feature and the whole flow was working smoothly until recently wehtn the error popped up. When I checked the license status it is still valid. I tried returning the license (with the hope to generate a fresh one), this is not going through as I see "Invalid option specified" message. I realized that the trusted storage itself was having problems. The issue that I was facing was very much similar to what is explained in the below discussion:
http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Installation-and-Licensing/Vivado-License-Manager-will-not-allow-me-to-return-license/td-p/527697
I followed the steps as in above and could see trusted storage itself that was having problems. And followed the steps in the above discussion and could successfully run installanchorservice.exe
This should have solved the issue if the trust was broken due to anchoring. This however, did not solve my issue. On further reading, I came across the below AR:
http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/63683.html
Based on this I could see that there are 3 reasons for Trust getting broken.
Binding (tampering the system parameters)
Anchoring
Windback
My issue is with Binding. The NIC card got disabled for some issue and I had to run diagnostics and fix it. I strongly suspect that due to this trust is broken due to Binding.
Attached the logs.txt from the the following commands:
xlicclientmgr -v "format=long"
xlicclientmgr -l
I could not find any material on the web to restore the trust of it is broken due to binding issue. Any pointers will be really appreciated.
Regards,
Ravi Raju

Yes that repaired the broken license. Than you very much for this.
For the benifit of others:
It was confirmed that in my case the trust was broken due to Binding. For this, you need to provide the files that you find in the discussion above and Xilinx support will provide a xml file with instructions, that you need to follow to repair the license.

This application has failed to start because SapNi.dll was not found

On the advice, good advice, of Melanie and Lars, here is a new thread for my question.
I'm assisting with a migration of SAPDB, on Windows Server 2003, to MaxDB 7.6.xx on Solaris 10 SPARC.
I can connect to my SAP DB 7.3.0.35 using Database Manager 7.4.3.23 as superdba. Now I'm trying to use the dbmcli.
I go to the server and pop open a cmd prompt and try it via dbmcli:
dbmcli -d sdb -u superdba,<password>
And I get a Windows dialog box that says
This application has failed to start because SapNi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Hello,
actually, the SUPERDBA user only has ONE valid password. Although he is able to perform admin tasks and to execute SQL statements, there are not two passwords for this user!
So if you are able to connect with that user with dbmcli and not with sqlcli or loadercli, there seems to be something wrong with your system/users. Maybe the user called SUPERDBA on your system is not really the SYSDBA but a 'normal' dbm user.
When you connect with that user with dbmcli, please execute the following commands:
sql_execute select user from dual
sql_execute select SYSDBA from dual
sql_execute select * from users
Can you also connect with user control with dbmcli? You might want to check the default password (control).
Regarding the ni.dll problem: If I understand that correctly, you installed Database Studio locally on your PC. Did you also install any othe MaxDB software on that server? When you try to use dbmcli to connect to a remote database, you'll have to specify the -n <hostname> option. Or did you get that dll error on the database server itself?
Database Studio cannot be used to administer databases of version 7.3. You'll have to use DBMGUI or dbmcli for that.
Best regards, Melanie
Hi Melanie, Thanks for the response.
I cannot use dbmcli at the moment. I get the Windows dialog box saying
This application has failed to start because SapNi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I am using dmcli on the Windows 2003 Server with my SAP DB 7.3 installed. Here is the version of dbmcli that I'm using.
C:\sapdb\SDB\db\bin>dbmcli -V
OK
version,os,dbroot,logon,code,swap
"7.6.06","WIN32","C:\Program Files\sdb\7606",True,ASCII,2
I'm going to try to do what the error message tells me and uninstall and re-install my DB management applications.
Thanks,
Rich

I was updating Firefox from version 6 to version 7, after updating I tried to open Firefox and the message I got is this: This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. How can I fix this?

I was updating Firefox to the newest version 7.0.1 from version 6.0.2 I think it was, I clicked the restart Firefox button that always comes up after updating. It started updating and then Firefox never restarted like it was supposed to after it was done updating. I then tried to open Firefox and it told me "This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found." I did have Firefox crash on maybe about 30 minutes or so earlier which bothered me because I have been using Firefox for years and never had it crash on me before but I didn't think much of it at the time it happened because I was able to go back onto Firefox and finish what I had been working on. A while later I checked for updates and updated. The first time I tried to update it didn't work though so I had to shutdown Firefox and reopen Firefox and start the update a second time. It was after the second time that when I tried to open Firefox I got that message about failing to start because xul.dll can't be found. I filed a crash report when my Firefox crashed. This would have been around 1am-2am in the morning that Firefox first crashed and then wouldn't allow me to open it after updating. I have a DELL laptop running the Windows XP operating system but the laptop is probably at least 6 or 7 years old. The laptop will no longer charge so I always have to have it plugged into an outlet. Both my laptop hard drive and my external hard drive give me messages that I am running out of disk space on my hard drive. I bought this laptop 6 or 7 years ago second hand so it could be even older. In short it's a piece of crap and it gives me all kinds of issues but I currently can't afford a new one, but I have never had any problems with Firefox and I use Firefox more than any other aspect of my laptop so it's really really bothering me. May you please help me fix it?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

Itunes failed to start because 3ivx.dll was not found

I cannot launch itunes on my computer. When I try to open it a window pops up that reads "Quick Time handler window: itunes.exe - unable to locate component". The message reads: "This application has failed to start because 3ivx.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I have installed the newest version of itunes and quick time but this hasn't worked. Scan on computer shows everything to be fine - no viruses etc.
Just wondering if anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Quick Time is up to date.
... no, I wasn't checking on your QuickTime. 3ivx is a different thing. See:
http://www.3ivx.com/
Is the 3ivx stuff you've got installed on your PC up to date?

This application has failed to start because msvcr71.dll was not found

Hi,
I just downloaded the Flex 3.3 DK from here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sdk
Once unzipped I went to run this:
C:\DATA\My Documents\_jim\flash\open-source\_Software\flex_sdk_3\bin\mxmlc.exe
When I ran it, I got this error
This application has failed to start because msvcr71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem
I searched on Google, and found this:
http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2932&start=15
So from there, downloaded "msvcr71.dll", placed here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
And ran the following in the Command prompt: regsvr32 "msvcr71.dll".
When I did that, I got this error message:
msvcr71.dll was loaded but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found
The file was not registered
I saw that the DLL is related to Microsoft Visual Basic Runtime, so I deleted the dll I saved manually, and ran the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/thankyou.aspx?familyId=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2b c1bf&displayLang=en
Once done, the dll was not placed in the System32 folder.
I tried the manual install of the DLL again, but on trying to register it again, got the same error message.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Seems like I might have hit a brick wall.
Thanks

My i tunes is not working anymore. it says the application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I have tried re-installing the program but it doesn't work.

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to get onto iTunes and was unable to. I keep getting this message:
Itunes.exe - Unable to locate component.
This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install the program several times but cannot get it to work. Now I get this message:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I have tried to do what I can but am not really iTunes savy and would like to get this issue resolved. Can anyone help me?
THANK YOU!!

Hello there, Cyn.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information for troubleshooting your issue. Keep in mind uninstalling and reinstalling has to be done in a very specific fashion, therefore use the guidelines from this article to accomplish this:

With that one, first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe Control Panel for Windows, robin. Does that make the error go away?

When I try to open Firefox I receive this message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found." HELP!

I've been using Firefox for about 3 years. Today, I ran a scan of my computer Webroot Anti Virus and deleted all "risky stuff" they checked. Don't know if this is a coincidence but right after the scan I could not open Firefox. I receive the message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found. Reloading application may remedy this." I reloaded Firefox, the current version, clicked on open and received the same message. I've reloaded Firefox 3 more times with the same results. Now I need HELP.

See if you can make Webroot restore that file in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox and make sure that Webroot doesn't do that another time.
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

Updating iTunes with error message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found"?

After updating iTunes, has anyone got the message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." message and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"? I've tried everything from un-installing and re-installing iTunes to deleting the SC Info. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I recently tried to download the latest version of iTunes, but an error occured during the process. It was recommended that i reinstall iTunes to attempt to correct that problem. After I attempted to reinstall, an error came up with the title "iTunes.exe - Unable to locate component." the body of the error message read "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." When I click "Ok", another error message pops-up reading "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)". I tried reinstalling iTunes 3 times now, each time with the same result. What is going wrong, and what do I need to do?

Kappy, I completely overlooked your original response due to it's small, one line nature and poor UX design of the area surrounding the message area.
Upon following the complete instructions linked from the link you posted (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US), my first attempt resulted in everything being installed except for iTunes. So trying yet again.
I do have Safari for Windows Vista installed, which is why I could not delete everything in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I'm guessing this is Apple's way of completely removing Safari Win from history (there's always an under-the-table reason when something like this happens with Apple installs, they just won't say it publicly). Uninstalling Safari. Uninstalling Safari removes the remaining "Internet" files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
Uninstalling iCloud. Uninstalling MobileMe Control Panel that was never used. That leaves only QuickTime installed as an Apple product on my machine.
Just for the record, I did not have this folder: C:\Program Files\iPod\
Emptied the Recycling Bin.
Shut down and fresh start-up.
Install attempt again: results in the installer saying something interrupted it (no other programs open)
Installing again immediately after error: Success
Clearly there are issues with this installer.
A pop-up shows up with "The registry settings used by the iTunes drives for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burining software. Please reinstall iTunes"
No other CD burning software installed other than what came pre-installed by Gateway and a install of Windows Vista Pro (or whatever the top expensive one was called).
iTunes launched. iTunes Library, items like Movies & Music, and playlists are still intact and usable.
Good thing I don't have these issues on my Macs (ahem, which is why these errors are allowed to persist by Apple to discourage Microsoft/Windows/PC use and purchase, all about the money and Apple has become the non-caring giant it once sought to overthrow as the underdog, miss those days).
Thanks Kappy. Thanks for the time suck Apple.

HT1926 I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but now seem to have lost everything and can not access my library at all. Instead i keep on receiving the message 'Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I cannot access

I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but failed half way through. It suggested that i reinstall we I tried. However, i now get this message which states "Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
I have tried this but with no success. I have therefore found that I cannot access my iTunes library at all now.
What should I do.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HT6001 I have tried numerous time to update iTunes to Version 11.1.4. Each time it has failed. I get the message of "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found". Also I get a message of "Error 7". Advise please.

I have tried numerous time to update iTunes to version 11.1.4. It has failed every time. Now I can't even get into iTunes on my PC. The message I get is "This application has failed to start because MSVCR60.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem." Okay. Which application? What steps are needed for this process?
Also, I get this message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)" Could someone please assist me in the steps necessary to remedy this issue. Thanks.

For many users at this point in time (iTunes 11.1.4.62) uninstalling iTunes alone is not enough and they may need to undertake further steps...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
