Obtaining a License
You must have a license to run VCS. To obtain a license, contact your
local Synopsys Sales Representative. Your Sales Representative will
need the hostid for your machine.
To start a new license, do the following:
1. Verify that your license file is functioning correctly:
% lmcksum -c license_file_pathname
Running this licensing utility ensures that the license file is not
corrupt. You should see an "OK" for every INCREMENT
statement in the license file.
Note:
The snpslmd platform binaries and accompanying FlexLM utilities
are shipped separately and are not included with this distribution.
You can download these binaries as part of the Synopsys
Common Licensing (SCL) kit from the Synopsys Web Site at:
http://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/ASP/sk/smartkeys.cgi
2. Start the license server:
% lmgrd -c license_file_pathname -l logfile_pathname
3. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to the
license file. For example:
% setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE /u/edatools/vcs6.0/license.dat
