IC-CAP 2001: Adding Additional 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: /usr/tmp/license.dat 2. Verify that the third field of the SERVER line information in your new license.dat file is the same as in your existing license.dat file. For example: New License.dat: SERVER unknown 77a588a7 1700 Existing License.dat: SERVER hpnmems 77a588a7 1700 If the hostid shown in the third field of the SERVER line is different, you need to contact Agilent EEsof EDA Business Support Center (see the "Need More Help?" section below). 3. Merge the INCREMENT lines from your new license.dat file with the INCREMENT lines in your existing license.dat file. Be sure to use an editor that will not insert extra characters into the license.dat file. For example: New License.dat file: SERVER unknown 77a588a7 1700 DAEMON agileesof /eesof/licenses/vendors/agileesof INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 A49F1884A586 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 Existing License.dat file: 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 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. Merged License.dat file: 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 4. With the merged license.dat file in place, you need to notify FLEXlm of the new licenses before they will be enabled. You can do this without stopping and restarting the FLEXlm software on your license server. From a command prompt, do the following: a) cd /ICCap/licenses/bin b) ./lmutil lmreread -c ../license.dat This assumes you have placed the new merged license.dat file in /ICCap/licenses/license.dat. If this doesn't work for you, stop and restart FLEXlm as follows: a) cd /ICCap/licenses/bin b) ./lmutil lmdown -c ../license.dat c) ./lmgrd -c ../license.dat > ../flex.log You may also want to simply reboot your license server with the new merged license.dat file in place. 5. Check /ICCap/licenses/flex.log file 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 6. You should be able to run IC-CAP. To confirm: type the following command at a unix prompt: $ICCAP_ROOT/bin/iccap 7. 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.
