Installation
Windows PC client (obtains license from a
server)
Use this setup if you are installing on a Windows PC that will obtain a license
from a Windows PC or Unix license server.
1. Install ModelSim from the CD or via a downloaded installation executable.
The ModelSim installation executable is available on the web at
http:///www.model.com/products/release.asp
.
2. During installation the Select Components dialog box asks you to select a
licensing option. Select "gets its license from a remote machine."
3. Once installation is complete, check with your system administrator for the
license server’s hostname (the network machine name) and port# (1650 is
the default port number).
4. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable with the port# and
hostname given you by the system administrator.
• For Windows NT/2000/XP, right-click the My Computer icon and select
Properties, and then select the Environment tab (in Windows 2000/XP
select the Advanced tab and then Environment Variables).
Add LM_LICENSE_FILE with the value port#@hostname, reflecting
the data given you by your system administrator.
• For Windows 98/Me, add the following line to the autoexec.bat file:
set LM_LICENSE_FILE=port#@hostname
where port# is the port number of the license server and hostname is the
name of the license server.
5. Reboot your PC.
6. Make sure the license server is running, then invoke ModelSim through the
Windows Start menu (Start > Programs > Model Tech > Modelsim).
