genesys 2 board not showing up in Vivado HL 2016.1

I have recently purchased Genesys 2 board.

While going through project described at https://reference.digilentinc.com/genesys2/gsmbs, I find following errors while synthesizing:

ERROR: [Common 17-345] A valid license was not found for feature 'Synthesis' and/or device 'xc7k325t'. Please run the Vivado License Manager for assistance in determining
which features and devices are licensed for your system.

I  installed Vivado  version 2016.1. The  design edition, and it does not show Genesys 2 board. So, I had to use Kintex 7 KC705 (which uses Kintex 7 device as on Genesys 2 board) platform.

I unstalled the software and reinstalled System Edition too. It also does not show Genesys 2 board.

The status of licenses shows node locked license for OEM_7K325T_DesignEd, which I suppose is validity of Genesys 2 board.

However, I installed Xilinx SDK ver 2014.4, and it runs the demo example file.

Can you help me how to use board and device in my Vivado FPGA project?

Thanks,

Dee
