lmutil, lmtools and agileesofd.

http://www.agilent.com/find/eesof-docs.


                        ! ! WARNING ! ! 

DON'T USE THE LMGRD AND UTILITIES FROM VERSIONS FLEXnet 10.0 or 10.1.3,
 THESE VERSIONS HAVE A BUG THAT KEEPS agileesofd FROM RUNNING
===================================================================

The following instructions outline a quick procedure for installing
your new codewords.  If you would like more detailed instructions,
please refer to Chapter 2 of the "Windows Installation " manual.

Read the Prerequisites, follow the Procedures, and if you have
troubles, please read the Common Problems and More Help sections.



Prerequisites
-------------
Agilent EEsof EDA software can be nodelocked to your PC's ethernet
address or to a hardware key or dongle.  

IMPORTANT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using a hardware key, please make sure the latest versions 
of the FLEXID drivers are loaded on your PC.  You can load them by 
running the 'FLEXidInstaller.exe ' program that can be downloaded
from our web site:

  http://edasupportweb.soco.agilent.com
   
Look for the Hardware Key Drivers download page.

If you already have FLEXID key drivers installed from a previous version of EEsof software, 
you will need to remove the old drivers prior to installing the new ones. The
FLEXidInstaller.exe will detect older drivers and ask you "Do you want to 
completely remove the selected application and all of its features?" Answer "Yes",
follow prompts, and run the FLEXidInstaller.exe again after the PC is rebooted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Procedure
---------

The following procedure assumes you are installing codewords for the
first time.  

1. Save the license.lic attachment to a file on your PC.

2. Place the license.lic file into the licenses folder of your EMDS
   installation.  For example:
   
      c:\Agilent\EMDS2006A\licenses\license.lic
      
3. Nodelocked licenses do not require you to start FLEXlm software.

4. By default, EMDS will look for licenses in:

      c:\Agilent\EMDS2006A\licenses\license.lic
      
   You may override this using the AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE
   environment variable.  If LM_LICENSE_FILE is set, the variable will
   be overridden by AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE as well.
   
   For help with setting environment variables in Windows, please select
   Start > Help, select the Index tab and enter 'environment variables',
   then select 'adding' or 'changing' as appropriate.

 5. You should now be ready to run EMDS.


Common Problems
---------------

If you are having trouble after following the procedure above, please
check the following:

o "hostid of this system does not match the hostid specified in the 
   license file. 
   Feature: emds_environment
   Hostid:  FLEXID=8-5E700360A111
   FLEXIm error -9,57"
   
   To fix this problem, load the new Hardware Key drivers by running the
   FLEXidInstaller.exe executable that can be downloaded from our web site:

  http://edasupportweb.soco.agilent.com
   
o "invalid host" error 

   To fix this problem, load the new Hardware Key drivers by running the
   FLEXidInstaller.exe executable that can be downloaded from our web site:

  http://edasupportweb.soco.agilent.com

o Be sure you have set the AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable
  correctly.
