Replacing Expired Nodelocked Codewords on PC Systems
              (Hardware Key)
====================================================               
The following instructions will guide you through the
steps to install your new nodelocked codewords.  If you
would like more detailed instructions, please refer to
Chapter 4 of the "Installation on PC Systems" guide.

The complete installation guide can be found on the
web at:

  http://www.tm.agilent.com/tmo/hpeesof/support/supp150.html

Agilent EEsof EDA uses 2 different types of hardware keys.
If your hardware key has a FLEXID that starts with 36C7 or
B285, you are using a Sentinel SuperPro key.  If the FLEXID
of you hardware key starts with 8-5E70, then you are using
a Dallas dongle.  Codewords for both types of keys can be 
mixed in a single codeword file.


Instructions
------------
1. Rename your existing license.dat file containing the
   expired codewords.  For example:

      cd \AdvDesSys1.5\licenses
      ren license.dat expired.dat

2. Save the attached license.dat file to your Agilent EEsof
   EDA software installation directory.  For example:

      c:\AdvDesSys1.5\licenses\license.dat

3. The new license.dat file should look something like
   the following examples. The first example is for
   Sentinel hardware keys, and the second example is for
   Dallas dongles.

   This is a simplified example.  Yours may contain more
   INCREMENT lines.  For nodelocked licenses, the license.dat
   file will not contain SERVER or DAEMON lines.

   IMPORTANT NOTE: Always use Microsoft Notepad or the
   DOS editor to edit license.dat files.  Other editors
   may save extra information in the license.dat file
   making it invalid.

4. Make sure the SENTINEL_KEY or FLEXID number used in the 
   new license.dat file matches the number used in your
   expired license.dat (expired.dat).

   If it does, you are done.

   If not, you will need to contact Agilent EEsof EDA 
   Business Support to report the problem and get a new
   license.dat file with the correct SENTINEL_KEY or FLEXID
   number.
