IC-CAP 2001: Installing Nodelocked IC-CAP Codewords on UNIX Systems =================================================================== The following instructions will guide you through the steps to install your new nodelocked codewords. If you would like more detailed instructions, please refer 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 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, e.g. the machine on which you intend to run IC-CAP, 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 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT dc_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 E5730E4E2D49 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT lcrz_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 79EDC2A5437C \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT noise_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 596238E1A834 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT ac_driver agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 5ECF08713A43 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT analysis agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 0BDF94416B33 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT curtice_statz_fet agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 E44D2DF78248 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT gummel_poon_bjt agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 A49F1884A586 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f INCREMENT vbic_bjt agileesof 6.0 27-feb-2003 1 C7E264F37F60 \ VENDOR_STRING=s=2007337127 HOSTID=780cc57f 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 and at the end of the INCREMENT lines will be in hexadecimal. 3. Start FLEXlm on the license server machine. ** You probably need to be root to write to the /ICCap/licenses directory. If you do not have root permission, you can write the log file to /tmp or some other directory 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 4. Since you have nodelocked licenses, you must run IC-CAP from the UNIX workstation whose CPU ID is listed in the HOSTID field at the end of the INCREMENT lines. For example, to use the licenses shown in step 2, you would need to use the workstation whose CPU ID is 780cc57f (which is result of uname -i -> 2014102911 in hexadecimal) You can check your workstation's CPU ID as follows: Operating System Command ---------------- ------- HP-UX /bin/uname -i Solaris 2.x /bin/hostid 5. Before running IC-CAP on the UNIX workstation, 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 6. You should now 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.
