How to update "design linking" licence?

Support
1

while doing “make” at /PYNQ/boards/ZCU104/base, I got the following error.
The licenses of v_hdmi_tx/inst and v_hdmi_rx/inst are both “Design Linking” while the version of Vivado using is v2020.2.
Please advise on how to update/pay the license.
p.s.

write_bitstream failed
ERROR: [Common 17-69] Command failed: This design contains one or more cells for which bitstream generation is not permitted:
base_i/video/hdmi_out/frontend/inst/v_hdmi_tx/inst ()
base_i/video/hdmi_in/frontend/inst/v_hdmi_rx/inst ()
If a new IP Core license was added, in order for the new license to be picked up, the current netlist needs to be updated by resetting and re-generating the IP output products before bitstream generation.

Hi,

You need a license for the HDMI IP to generate the bitstream

You can use an evaluation license HDMI IP
