ModelSim PE Installation Getting Started with ModelSim PE
Authorization Codes: updates
If you receive a new programmable key to replace an old-style, non-programmable key, your
new key is delivered ready to run for 30 days from when you first invoke Model
Sim
. You can
get a permanent code for the product you purchased by returning your old key along with your
new key’s serial number and your email address. We will send you a permanent code via email.
Authorization Codes: entering your permanent code
To enter a new 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 with
build dates before your maintenance end 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.
Updates to Model
Sim
PE will be made available via the postal system, ftp, and our website at
http://www.model.com. Information about changes to the PE software will be posted on our
website as they occur. We hope you find this distribution system of electronic updates and key-
authorized software efficient and easy to use.
To Run from the CD-ROM
A complete installation of Model
Sim
PE is included on the CD-ROM allowing you to run
Model
Sim
directly from the CD-ROM. Just double-click on
modelsim.exe
. (You will have to
create your
work
library on a different disk, of course!) If you are running Windows NT, you
will need to have the security key drivers installed. If you have already installed them, or are
running Windows 95, you can run Model
Sim
directly from the CD-ROM, although it is
recommended you install Model
Sim
on your hard drive.
