Combining Codewords Using Multiple Vendor Daemons ================================================= Beginning with ADS 2002 and IC-CAP 2001, a new vendor daemon named agileesof was introduced. The agileesof vendor daemon will only enable IC-CAP 2001/2002 and ADS 2002/2002C licenses. If you want to serve licenses for older version of ADS and IC-CAP, you must run the hpeesofd vendor daemon as well. You can configure your license.lic file such that it starts both agileesof and hpeesofd. The actual name of the license file is arbitrary. We use license.lic as it is the default name recommended by Globetrotter Software. You should always use the latest version of agileesof to serve your licenses. The agileesof supplied with ADS 2002C is the latest version and will serve ADS 2002/2002C and IC-CAP 2001/2002 licenses. You can download the latest version of agileesof from our web site at: http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/support/supp203.html The following table shows which vendor daemon to use for each version of IC-CAP and ADS. You should always use the latest versions of hpeesofd and agileesof, which are available from the web address mentioned above. 5.3 2001 2002 2002C ----------------------------------------------------------- IC-CAP | hpeesofd agileesof agileesof NA | ADS | NA hpeesofd agileesof agileesof Configuring license.lic To Start Multiple Vendor Daemons Here's an example of specifying two vendor daemons in the license.lic file: SERVER solarone 80FB214D 27000 DAEMON hpeesofd /ads2001/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd VENDOR agileesof /ads2002/licenses/vendors/agileesof When you start lmgrd, it will read the license.lic file and start any vendor daemons it finds on DAEMON and VENDOR lines. Once you have the vendor daemons setup, add the INCREMENT lines for hpeesofd and agileesof to the license.lic file. For example: SERVER solarone 80FB214D 27000 DAEMON hpeesofd /ads2001/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd VENDOR agileesof /ads2002/licenses/vendors/agileesof # # ADS 2001 codewords # INCREMENT Schematic hpeesofd 1.5 03-nov-2002 5 7C6AD833993DEE957F81 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=80FB214D # # IC-CAP 2001/2002 codewords # INCREMENT iccap_environment agileesof 6.0 29-oct-2001 1 1898F604A134 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=80FB214D # # ADS 2002/2002C Codewords # INCREMENT ads_schematic agileesof 2.0 30-jun-2002 1 \ VENDOR_STRING=80FB214D HOSTID=80fb214d SIGN="01E3 1C1B CC99 \ BF60 665E D6CB E0EA 82D5 795C 2D2A FF03 E767 2732 C56B 975C \ B456 328C 812D E4FD 28FE 47EE" Notice that the third field of each INCREMENT line specifies which vendor daemon the license must be served by. Now, when you start lmgrd, it will start both vendor daemons. Each vendor daemon will enable the INCREMENT lines that belong to it. To run ADS 2002/2002C, set the following environment variable: AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE=27000@solarone To run ADS 2001 and IC-CAP 2001/2002, set the following environment variable: LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@solarone You should specify the actual TCP port number and hostname of your license server. The above examples are correct given the information in the license.lic examples above. If you need more detailed instructions for setting up FLEXlm licensing, please refer to Chapter 4 of the Agilent EEsof EDA installation guide for your software.
