IC-CAP 2001: Installing Floating Codewords on UNIX Systems ========================================================== The following instructions will guide you through the steps to install your new floating codewords. If you would like more detailed instructions, please refer to to Chapter 4 of the "IC-CAP 2001 Installation and Customization Guide". The complete installation guide can be found on the web at: http://www.tm.agilent.com/tmo/hpeesof/support/supp150.html You should also review the important note about FLEXlm software at the end of these instructions. Instructions ------------ 1. Save the attached license.dat file to your Agilent EEsof EDA software installation directory. For example: /ICCap/licenses/license.dat Note: The license.dat file must be on the machine that will be your license server. This does not necessarily need to be the machine on which you install and run IC-CAP. For simplicity, these instructions show example paths as if the server machine were also the machine on which one would install and run IC-CAP. Typically, you should have the environment variable ICCAP_ROOT set to the installation directory. You can confirm this by typing: echo $ICCAP_ROOT at a unix command prompt. For this example, you would see the following returned: /ICCap 2. Edit your license.dat file using a plain text editor and make sure the information on the SERVER and DAEMON lines is correct. (Don't use a word processing editor that could write extra characters to the license.dat file). For example, given a license server with the following information: hostname: hpnmems hostid: 2007337127 FLEXlm software: /ICCap/licenses/bin the license.dat file would need to look like this: ----------------------------------------------------- SERVER hpnmems 77a588a7 1700 DAEMON agileesof /ICCap/licenses/vendors/agileesof INCREMENT iccap_environment agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 5757651DBFFE \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT dc_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 E5730E4E2D49 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT lcrz_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 79EDC2A5437C \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT noise_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 596238E1A834 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT ac_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 5ECF08713A43 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT analysis agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 0BDF94416B33 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT curtice_statz_fet agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 E44D2DF78248 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 A49F1884A586 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 INCREMENT vbic_bjt agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 C7E264F37F60 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 This is a simplified example. Yours may contain more INCREMENT lines. Note for HP-UX Users: If your license server is an HP-UX machine, the hostid on the SERVER line will be in hexadecimal. 3. Start FLEXlm on the license server machine. cd /ICCap/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -c ../license.dat > ../flex.log Check /ICCap/licenses/flex.log for errors. You can confirm the license server is up and licenses are available as follows: Check the status of the license server: cd /ICCap/licenses/bin ./lmutil lmstat -a -c ../license.dat | more Run lmdiag to make sure licenses can be checked out: ./lmutil lmdiag -c ../license.dat 4. Before running IC-CAP, make sure you have the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set to point to the license server. To check if LM_LICENSE_FILE is currently defined, you can type at a command prompt: echo $LM_LICENSE_FILE If it is defined and points to the current location of the license.dat file, for example /ICCap/licenses/license.dat, then you do not need to redefine it. If it is not defined, see the procedures below: For example: For C-Shell: setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE /ICCap/licenses/license.dat For Bourne/Korn/Posix Shell: LM_LICENSE_FILE=/ICCap/licenses/license.dat export LM_LICENSE_FILE Or you can configure LM_LICENSE_FILE with the port@hostname syntax: For C-Shell: setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 1700@hpnmems For Bourne/Korn/Posix Shell: LM_LICENSE_FILE=1700@hpnmems export LM_LICENSE_FILE 5. You should be able to run IC-CAP. To confirm: type the following command at a unix prompt: $ICCAP_ROOT/bin/iccap 6. To view available licenses in IC-CAP, start IC-CAP and then view what is reported via the Tools/License Status option off the IC-CAP/ Main window.

As of IC-CAP 2001, the lmgrd and agileesof supplied by Agilent EEsof EDA is v7.0g. You can check the version of lmgrd you have as follows: cd $ICCAP_ROOT/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -v You may be able to get a newer version of lmgrd from the Globetrotter Software web site: http://www.globetrotter.com/flexlm/lmgrd.shtml Agilent EEsof EDA is the only source for agileesof. If you need agileesof for any of the Agilent EEsof EDA supported platforms, go to: ftp://ftp.eesofeda.agilent.com/dist/support/FLEXlm/ The latest versions of lmgrd and agileesof are always backward compatible. That is, all new versions of lmgrd and agileesof are designed to work with software that may have been designed using a previous version of lmgrd and agileesof. iccap2001_unix_fl.txt r10.02.2001
