expiration date. The key code permits the use of any Model
Sim
PE software with a build date
on or before the maintenance expiration date.
PE Maintenance Renewals
When maintenance is renewed, Model Technology will send a new key code that incorporates
the new maintenance expiration date. If maintenance is not renewed, the key will still permit
the use of any version of the software built before the maintenance expired.
Note:
PE users should protect the key. It is the most valuable part of your purchase. Model
Technology will replace any defective key, but will not replace lost keys. Consider insuring the
key for the purchase price of the product.
Entering Your Permanent Authorization Code
Make this menu selection when you start Model
Sim
: Help > About ModelSim > Authorization.
(If your authorization has expired, Model
Sim
will prompt you with a dialog box.) Key in your
new code and click Apply; the authorization information changes to reflect the current type of
authorization and the new maintenance end date. Click Ok to complete the authorization.
When it is permanently programmed, your key will run all products of the correct type (VHDL,
VLOG, or PLUS) with build dates before your maintenance expiration date. When your
maintenance expires you can still run any product built up until that date. When you renew your
maintenance, you will receive a new authorization code that will extend the date.
