IC-CAP: 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 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 780cc57f 1700 Existing License.dat: SERVER hpnmems 780cc57f 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 780cc57f 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /eesof/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd \ /eesof/licenses/local.options INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ 4CA8ADEFB92551379A96 "s=2014102911"\ Existing License.dat file: SERVER hpnmems 780cc57f 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /ICCap/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd \ /ICCap/licenses/options/local.options INCREMENT ac_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 3C98ED2F56D4FD37B902 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT analysis hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 ECC8DD7F8D7DDBA64CAA \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT a_si_tft hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 2C483DEF28B248059D8E \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT curtice_statz_fet hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ EC384DDF76519DC65F9D "s=2014102911" INCREMENT dc_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 3CE8EDAF48DDFC21B119 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT iccap_environment hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ 9C78BDDF02E156CAF314 "s=2014102911" This is a simplified example. Yours may contain more INCREMENT lines. Merged License.dat file: SERVER hpnmems 780cc57f 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /ICCap/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd \ /ICCap/licenses/options/local.options INCREMENT ac_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 3C98ED2F56D4FD37B902 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT analysis hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 ECC8DD7F8D7DDBA64CAA \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT a_si_tft hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 2C483DEF28B248059D8E \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT curtice_statz_fet hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ EC384DDF76519DC65F9D "s=2014102911" INCREMENT dc_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 3CE8EDAF48DDFC21B119 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT iccap_environment hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ 9C78BDDF02E156CAF314 "s=2014102911" INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 \ 4CA8ADEFB92551379A96 "s=2014102911"\ NOTE: if you have a local.options file, make sure the path to it is correct. If you are not using a local.options file, it is recommended you remove the '\' at the end of the DAEMON line, and the next line, /ICCap/licenses/local.options. (otherwise, a warning about not finding a local.options file will be recorded in the flex.log file) 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.

Important Note About FLEXlm Software ------------------------------------ Always use the latest versions of lmgrd and hpeesofd available. As of IC-CAP 5.X, the lmgrd and hpeesofd supplied by Agilent EEsof EDA are v4.1. 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 hpeesofd. If you need hpeesofd 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 hpeesofd are always backward compatible. That is, all new versions of lmgrd and hpeesofd are designed to work with software that may have been designed using a previous version of lmgrd and/or hpeesofd. iccap_unix_fl_addon.txt r11.10.00
