Install the Security Key
Model
Sim
version 4.7 requires a hardware security key with an authorization code. Install the
key on the parallel printer port. If you have a printer or another device attached to the same port,
attach that device to the security key. It will not interfere with normal operations. Please
remember to protect your key; Model Technology will replace defective keys, but not lost keys.
Authorization Codes
Your key’s authorization code determines whether VHDL, Verilog, or mixed-HDL support is
turned on. All codes are based on the product type you purchased, the key ID, and your
maintenance expiration date.
Authorization Codes: Model Technology direct sales
Your key should be delivered already programmed with your permanent code. If it is not, send
email to [e-mail], with your key number and return email address.
Authorization Codes: Model Technology OEM sales
If you purchased from a Model Technology OEM partner, you received a 30-day code. Obtain
your permanent code by contacting your OEM licensing department with your key number and
email address. They will forward the request to Model Technology and you will receive your
permanent code by email.
