Installing Nodelocked Codewords for ICCAP 2004 on PC ===================================================== 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 "Installation and Customization" guide. Read the Prerequisites, follow the Procedure, and if you run into problems, please read the "Common Problems and More Help" sections and/or contact Technical Support at 1-800-473-3763, or at our website: http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/index.html Select The "Technical Support" link. 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 version of the FLEXID drivers are loaded on your PC. You can load them by running the 'flexid.exe' program located in the root (top-level) directory of the ICCAP 2004 Installation CD-ROM. Alternatively, you can download flexid.exe from the EEsof web site: http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/support/supp203.html Look for the Hardware Key Drivers download. Note: ADS and ICCAP use the same flexid drivers. Procedure --------- The following procedure assumes you are installing codewords for the first time. If you are adding codewords, you will want to simply append the INCREMENT lines from your new license file to your existing file in step 2. It is strongly recommended that you remove any expired licenses from your license.lic file. Keeping the license file as short as possible will prevent confusion and trouble. 1. Save the license.lic attachment to a file on your PC. 2. Place the license.lic file into the licenses folder of your ICCAP installation. For example: c:\iccap_2004\licenses\license.lic 3. Nodelocked licenses do not require you to start FLEXlm software. 4. By default, ICCAP will look for licenses in: c:\iccap_2004\licenses\license.lic You may override this using the LM_LICENSE_FILE or AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE environment variables. If LM_LICENSE_FILE is set, ICCAP will look for licenses in the file it points to. The LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable may be overridden by setting AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE. 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 ICCAP. Common Problems --------------- If you are having trouble after following the procedure above, please check the following: o "hostid of this sysem does not match the hostid specified in the license file. Feature: iccap_environment Hostid: FLEXID=7-36c7c388 FLEXIm error -9,57" To fix this problem, load the new FLEXid drivers by running the flexid.exe executable on the ICCAP 2004 Installation CD-ROM. You will find flexid.exe in the top-level directory of the CD-ROM. You can also download flexid.exe from the web site mentioned in the prerequisites section above. o "invalid host" error To fix this problem, load the new FLEXid drivers by running the flexid.exe executable on the ICCAP 2004 Installation CD-ROM. You will find flexid.exe in the top-level directory of the CD-ROM. o Does the hardware key number or ethernet address specified in the license.lic file match the hardware key or ethernet address on your PC? The ID that the licenses are nodelocked to is specified by the 'HOSTID=' field on the INCREMENT lines in your license.lic file. You can determine the ethernet address or hardware key ID for your PC using the following commands: cd /d c:\iccap_2004\licenses\bin lmutil lmhostid -flexid (to read hardware key) lmutil lmhostid (to read ethernet address) o Is the license.lic file in the correct location and is it named correctly? By default, ICCAP expects to find a file named license.lic in the licenses folder of your ICCAP installation directory. Sometimes, the file is incorrectly renamed 'license.lic.txt' or 'license.lic.doc'. Using the Command Prompt, check that the name is correct, for example: C:\>cd \iccap_2004\licenses C:\iccap_2004\licenses>dir Volume in drive C is SysDisk Volume Serial Number is 3440-4D0A Directory of C:\iccap_2004\licenses 02/25/2003 10:06 . 02/25/2003 10:06 .. 02/21/2003 15:15 bin 02/22/2003 14:17 994 license.lic 02/21/2003 15:15 vendors 1 File(s) 994 bytes 4 Dir(s) 6,232,678,400 bytes free C:\iccap_2004\licenses> If the file is not named correctly, rename it: ren license.lic.txt license.lic Or copy the file from your original email attachment. o Attempt to checkout the 'iccap_environment' license using the chksec utility supplied with ICCAP. From a command prompt: cd /d c:\iccap_2004\licenses\bin chksec -d iccap_environment -c ..\license.lic The output will contain extra debugging information and can be very helpful in determining what the problem is. If you are unable to determine the problem, save the output from chksec as follows: cd /d c:\iccap_2004\licenses\bin chksec -d iccap_environment -c ..\license.lic > csout.txt and send csout.txt, along with your license.lic file, to Agilent EEsof EDA Technical Support: eesof_support@agilent.com More Help --------- ICCAP Installation and Customization Guide, Chapter 2 http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/ Technical Support Knowledge Center http://www.agilent.com/find/eesof-knowledgecenter Technical Support http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/assist/contact.html Globetrotter Software http://globetrotter.com/flexlm/lmgrd.shtml (latest lmgrd) http://www.globetrotter.com/manual.htm Rev.05252004
