Model created in System Genrator 2017.4 cannot be built in Model Composer 2021.2

Hi! I created the software model for dSpace MicroLabBox based on rti1202 platform in System Generator 2017.4 combined with Matlab 2017a. Now we have a new license of upgraded System Generator (Vitis Model Composer 2021.2) combined with Matlab 2021a.

When I open the old software with the new System Genrator, it shows updating all the FPGA blocks. But when I want to execute the FPGA build, it shows that there's no valid lisence...

Hi,

I understand that you are facing an issue while trying to build a software model generated using System Generator 2017.4 on Model Composer 2021.2.

A third-party block set called "System Generator for DSP" is included with the Vivado Design Suite and is supplied by Xilinx. A revised version of this product was renamed "Vitis Model Composer" in 2021. It is Xilinx, not MathWorks, that decides if System Generator and Vitis Model Composer are compatible with MATLAB.

Please refer to the following MATLAB answer for more information:
