INSTALLING NODELOCKED CODEWORDS ON UNIX ======================================== The following instructions outline a quick procedure for installing your new ADS2003C/RFDE Codewords. If you would like more detailed instructions, please refer to Chapter 3 of the "Installation on Unix Systems" guide for ADS2003C and/or Chapter 3 of the “Installing RFDE” guide. Read the Prerequisites, follow the Procedures, and if you have questions, please read the “Common Problems and More Help” sections in this document or contact Agilent Technical Support http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/assist/contact.html. IMPORTANT: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have been using codeword packages or Limited Term Packages (LTP) in previous versions, you should be aware that license bundles have replaced PACKAGE codewords in ADS 2003C. You must now select the bundle(s) you wish to use with the Agilent License Preference tool. See the section "Using the Preference Tool," bellow for quick instructions, or for more detailed information about selecting codeword bundles , please refer to the Installation Guide (ADS or RFDE), Chapter 4, "Using Advanced Design System". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREREQUISITES ------------- Agilent EEsof EDA software can be nodelocked to your Unix workstation's unique host ID. The license server and the machine the license is locked to can be two different machines. You can determine the host ID of your Unix workstation using the command for your platform: Linux: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 HP-UX: uname -i SunOS: hostID The license server doesn't have to have a full installation of ADS2003C or RFDE on it (see step 4 for more information). RFDE works with Cadence versions 4.4.6 and 5.0.33 and is available on HP-UX, Sun and Linux platforms: HP-UX 11.0x Solaris 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 Linux RedHat 7.3 RFDE also requires the following Cadence Products: Virtuoso Schematic Composer. Analog Design Environment. OASIS. OASIS is included in the RFDE purchase price; contact your local Cadence representative to obtain codewords and/or Cadence products installation and licensing information. ADS2003C AND RFDE LICENSE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES -------------------------------------------------- If you are wish to install RFDE codewords only, skip to the “RFDE LICENSE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES” section. The following procedure assumes you are installing ADS2003C codewords for the first time. 1. Save the license.lic attachment to a file on your machine. If you received the files in a Windows PC, make sure that no hidden characters were added to the file by the windows application (see ADS2003C installation manual’s Appendix A for troubleshooting instructions) 2. Place the license.lic file on the license server, and edit the SERVER and VENDOR lines: The license server may or may not be the machine to which your licenses are nodelocked. The license server's host ID is specified on the SERVER line in your license.lic file: SERVER unknown 80fb214d VENDOR agileesofd INCREMENT ads_datadisplay agileesofd 2.3 01-jan-2004 1 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" If ADS2003C is installed on the license server, you can place the license.lic in the $HPEESOF_DIR/licenses directory. For example: /apps/ads2003C/licenses/license.lic The host ID that licenses are nodelocked to is specified on each INCREMENT line by 'HOSTID='. Remember, the host ID the license is locked to doesn't have to be the same as the license server's host ID: SERVER unknown 80fb214d VENDOR agileesofd INCREMENT ads_datadisplay agileesofd 2.3 01-jan-2004 1 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" 3. Once you have the license.lic file in place on the license server, verify the correctness of the information on the SERVER and VENDOR lines. The SERVER line must contain the hostname of the license server and its host ID. For example: SERVER joshua 80fb214d We often send the license.lic file with hostname set to 'unknown'. This MUST be changed to the correct hostname. Optionally, you may want to specify a TCP port for the license server to listen to for license requests. If a TCP port is not specified, as in the example above, FLEXlm will default to the first available port in the range 27000 to 27009. To specify a TCP port, modify the SERVER line as follows: SERVER joshua 80fb214d 27005 In this example, the TCP port is set to 27005. The VENDOR line controls which vendor daemon will be started. It must contain the name of the vendor daemon. For example: VENDOR agileesofd As long as the vendor daemon exists in the same directory that lmgrd is started from, this is sufficient. You may want to specify the exact location of the agileesofd daemon executable as follows: VENDOR agileesofd /apps/ads2003C/licenses/bin/agileesofd Be sure to specify the actual location on your license server. 4. Once the information on the SERVER and VENDOR lines is correct, start the FLEXlm license manager on the license server machine. For example, cd /apps/ads2003C/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -c ../license.lic -l ../adsflex.log In this example, the lmgrd supplied with ADS2003C is started. The path to the license.lic file is specified using the '-c' option and a log file is started using the '-l' option. You MUST use a version of lmgrd that is equal to or greater than the version of agileesofd. You can check the versions of lmgrd and agileesofd as follows: cd /apps/ads2003C/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -v ./agileesofd -v The latest version of lmgrd can be downloaded from the Globetrotter Software web site (see the URL in the More Help section below). You can also run a custom install of ADS and choose to only install the FLEXlm software. This is a good way to get all of the latest FLEXlm software for ADS. After starting lmgrd, wait about 10 to 15 seconds and then look at the contents of adsflex.log. You should not see any errors and you should see that agileesofd started successfully and has enabled the licenses contained in your license.lic file. Please see Chapter 3 of the ADS2003C Installation Guide for a way to automate the startup of lmgrd. 5. You should now be ready to run ADS2003C from the machine(s) whose host ID matches the host ID the licenses are locked to. The client machine must be able to locate the license server. Continuing with the examples above, the license server is named joshua. If no TCP port was specified on the SERVER line, set the following environment variable: [Korn/Bourne Shell] AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=@joshua export AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE [C Shell] setenv AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE @joshua If a TCP port was specified on the SERVER line, set the environment variable as follows: [Korn/Bourne Shell] AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=27005@joshua export AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE [C Shell] setenv AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE 27005@joshua You will want to use the actual TCP port number you specified on your SERVER line. Note: AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE will override any settings specified by the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. Before launching ADS or RFDE, you need to set your license preferences, using the new "License Preference Tool". See the "Using the License Preference Tool" section bellow. 6. You are now ready to run ADS2003C. ------------------------------------------------------------ INSTALLATION OF RFDE CODEWORDS ------------------------------------------------------------ If you are adding RFDE Codewords to your ADS2003C license.lic file, you will want to simply append one of the RFDE INCREMENT lines: INCREMENT rfde_premier agileesofd 2.3 31-dec-2003 2 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" INCREMENT rfde_wireless agileesofd 2.3 31-dec-2003 2 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" INCREMENT rfde_wireline agileesofd 2.3 31-dec-2003 2 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" from your RFDE license file to your existing ADS2003C license.lic file. You can then use the lmreread command to notify your license server to reread the license file and enable the new licenses: lmutil lmreread -c ..\license.lic Remember to read the “Installing RFDE” manual for more detailed installation instructions. RFDE LICENSE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Save the license.lic attachment to a file on your machine. If you received the files in a Windows PC, make sure that no hidden characters were added to the file by the windows application (see ADS2003C installation manual’s Appendix A for troubleshooting instructions) 2. Place the license.lic file on the license server, and edit the SERVER and VENDOR lines: The license server may or may not be the machine to which your licenses are nodelocked. The license server's host ID is specified on the SERVER line in your license.lic file: SERVER unknown 80fb214d VENDOR agileesofd INCREMENT rfde_premier agileesofd 2.3 31-dec-2003 1 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" If RFDE is installed on the license server, you can place the license.lic in the $HPEESOF_DIR/licenses directory. For example: /apps/RFDE/licenses/license.lic The host ID that licenses are nodelocked to is specified on each INCREMENT line by 'HOSTID='. Remember, the host ID the license is locked to doesn't have to be the same as the license server's host ID: SERVER unknown 80fb214d VENDOR agileesofd INCREMENT rfde_premier agileesofd 2.3 31-dec-2003 1 \ VENDOR_STRING=80fb214d HOSTID=00008645603e SIGN="008C 0B3B \ B6CE F5FD A202 41E9 4976 A13E 8FD7 74EC B500 077B 6A8B 43D7 \ 6ACC 2844 FC22 ED6F B9C5 0702 BD2C" 3.

It must contain the name of the vendor daemon. For example: VENDOR agileesofd As long as the vendor daemon exists in the same directory that lmgrd is started from, this is sufficient. If you have placed the agileesofd daemon executable in a different location, then enter the full path as follows: VENDOR agileesofd /apps/RFDE/licenses/bin/agileesofd Be sure to specify the actual location on your license server. 4. Once the information on the SERVER and VENDOR lines is correct, start the FLEXlm license manager on the license server machine. For example, cd /apps/RFDE/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -c ../license.lic -l ../adsflex.log In this example, the lmgrd supplied with RFDE is started. The path to the license.lic file is specified using the '-c' option and a log file is started using the '-l' option.

You should not see any errors and you should see that agileesofd started successfully and has enabled the licenses contained in your license.lic file. Please see Chapter 3 of the RFDE Installation Guide for a way to automate the startup of lmgrd. 5. Before you run RFDE. Any machine that will run RFDE (client) must be able to locate the license server. Continuing with the examples above, the license server is named joshua. If no TCP port was specified on the SERVER line, set the following environment variable: [Korn/Bourne Shell] AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=@joshua export AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE [C Shell] setenv AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE @joshua If a TCP port was specified on the SERVER line, set the environment variable as follows: [Korn/Bourne Shell] AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=27005@joshua export AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE [C Shell] setenv AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE 27005@joshua You will want to use the actual TCP port number you specified on your SERVER line. Note: AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE will override any settings specified by the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note When setting the shell environment variable from the command line, be sure to set it in the same terminal window in which you will run RFDE, and set it prior to starting RFDE. FOR MORE INFORMATION REFER TO THE “INSTALLING RFDE” MANUAL --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before launching ADS or RFDE, you need to set your license preferences, using the new "License Preference Tool". See the "Using the License Preference Tool" section bellow. 6. You are now ready to run RFDE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***************** USING THE LICENSE PREFERENCE TOOL ************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ADS2003C has a new feature, "license preference tool" that will allow you to select what licenses to access when launching ADS, Dynamic Link or RFDE. This tool gives you more control over license usage than was previously available with license packages. You will need to know how to use the preference tool to choose bundles prior to running ADS, RFDE or Dynamic Link. To run the License Preference tool: UNIX There are two ways to start the License Preference tool. In a terminal window: When starting ADS, enter > ads -p This runs the License Preference tool, and then runs ADS after you finish choosing bundles. To run the tool as a stand-alone utility, enter: > $HPEESOF_DIR/bin/aglmpref. This runs only the License Preference tool. WINDOWS There are two ways to start the License Preference tool: Launch the tool in stand-alone mode, from your Start menu choose: Programs > Advanced Design System 2003C > ADS Tools > License Preference Tool. To launch the tool before launching ADS, modify the Advanced Design System shortcut located on the Start menu. Right-click the Advanced Design System icon, and choose Properties. Edit the shortcut command on the Target line to include the -p option as shown here: C:\ADS2003C\bin\ads.exe -p This runs the License Preference tool every time you start ADS. The License Preference window appears, enabling you to view the available bundles and their features, and select bundles. To see the features available in a bundle, click the expansion icon next to the bundle name under Available License Bundles. To select a bundle, choose one of the bundles listed under Available License Bundles, then click Add. The selected bundle appears under Selected License Bundles. Select your license preferences, and select OK, this will close the tool and launch ADS. The License Preference tool will set the environment variable AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_PREFERENCE in: UNIX: $HOME/.flexlmrc WINDOWS Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager For more information about selecting codeword bundles for use with ADS and RFDE, please refer to the Installation Guide, Chapter 4, "Using Advanced Design System". ----------------------------------- COMMON PROBLEMS ---------------------------------- If you are having trouble after following the procedure above, please check the following: o Check the adsflex.log file on the license server for errors. o Be sure you have set correctly the HPEESOF_DIR, AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE, CLS_CDSD_COMPATIBILITY_LOCKING, CDS_LICENSE_FILE, CDS_INST_DIR environment variables, as well as the paths to the ADS2003C and CADENCE installation directories (see the ADS2003C and RFDE installation manual for more detailed instructions) o Attempt to checkout the 'ads_schematic' license using the chksec utility supplied with ADS2003C or the 'rfde_XXXX' license using the chksec utility supplied with RFDE : For ADS2003C cd $HPEESOF_DIR/licenses/bin chksec -d -c 27005@joshua ads_schematic For RFDE cd /licenses/bin chksec -d -c 27005@joshua ads_schematic Be sure to use the TCP port number and hostname of your license server. Alternatively, you can specify the full path to your license.lic file as in: chksec -d -c /apps/ads2003C/licenses/license.lic ads_schematic The output will contain extra debugging information and can be very helpful in determining what the problem is. If you are unable to determine the problem, save the output from chksec as follows: chksec -d ads_schematic > csout.txt and send csout.txt, along with your license.lic file, to Agilent EEsof EDA Technical Support: eesof_support@agilent.com MORE HELP --------- ADS2003C Installation Guide, Chapter 4 http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/ RFDE Installation guide, Chapter 3 http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/ Technical Support Knowledge Center http://www.agilent.com/find/eesof-knowledgecenter Technical Support http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/assist/contact.html Globetrotter Software http://globetrotter.com/flexlm/lmgrd.shtml (latest lmgrd) http://www.globetrotter.com/manual.htm Rev.12172003
