IC-CAP: Replacing Expired 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. Shutdown the FLEXlm software that is running on your license server: Assuming your license file is at /ICCap/licenses/license.dat (you can check it by typing echo $LM_LICENSE_FILE on a command line, or checking definition of LM_LICENSE_FILE in your iccap startup scripts or environment profile files) cd /ICCap/licenses/bin ./lmutil lmdown -c /ICCap/licenses/license.dat 3. Rename the license.dat file containing your expired licenses: cd /ICCap/licenses mv license.dat expired.dat If you have licenses in expired.dat that are not expired, you will want to merge them into your new license.dat file. As long as the SERVER line information in the expired.dat is the same as in your new license.dat, you can copy the non-expired INCREMENT lines from expired.dat to the new license.dat. 4. Copy the new license.dat file from step 1 into place. For example: cp /usr/tmp/license.dat /ICCap/licenses 5. 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: 2014102911 FLEXlm software: /ICCap/licenses/bin the license.dat file would need to look like this: ----------------------------------------------------- SERVER hpnmems 780cc57f 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /ICCap/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd \ /ICCap/licenses/options/local.options INCREMENT iccap_environment hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 9C78BDDF02E156CAF314 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT dc_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 3CE8EDAF48DDFC21B119 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT lcrz_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 4CA8CD9F31E82866DBB1 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT noise_driver hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 8CF8DDFF870215EC09CD \ "s=2014102911" 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 curtice_statz_fet hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 EC384DDF76519DC65F9D \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 4CA8ADEFB92551379A96 \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT ucb_bsim3 hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 7CF8DD1FC35BDBDD950F \ "s=2014102911" INCREMENT vbic_bjt hpeesofd 5.300 28-Jan-2002 3 5C184D8FF1B929E10041 \ "s=2014102911" This is a simplified example. Yours may contain more INCREMENT LINES. 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) Note for HP-UX Users: If your license server is an HP-UX machine, the hostid on the SERVER line will be in hexadecimal. 6. Start FLEXlm on the license server machine. cd /ICCap/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -c ../license.dat > ../flex.log (see ** above) 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 7. 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 @ reference: For C-Shell: setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 1700@hpnmems For Bourne/Korn/Posix Shell: LM_LICENSE_FILE=1700@hpnmems export LM_LICENSE_FILE 8. You should be able to run IC-CAP. To confirm: type the following command at a unix prompt: $ICCAP_ROOT/bin/iccap 9. 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_expired.txt r11.10.00
