FLEXlm Licenses
ModelSim uses Globetrotter’s FLEXlm license manager and files. Globetrotter
FLEXlm license files contain lines that can be referred to by the word that appears
first on the line. Each kind of line has a specific purpose and there are many more
kinds of lines that MTI does not use.
Since version 5.3, ModelSim has used version 6.1g of FLEXlm (all FLEXlm 6.1
versions are compatible). Sites that have existing license servers running an older
version must shut down the servers and restart them using the lmgrd and
modeltech daemon provided in this release. The 6.1g FLEXlm license server is
compatible with pre-5.3 versions of ModelSim.
Where to obtain your license
Mentor Graphics customers must contact their Mentor Graphics salesperson for
ModelSim licensing. All other customers may obtain ModelSim licenses from
Model Technology. Please contact Model Technology at [e-mail]
.
If you have trouble with licensing
Contact your normal technical support channel. See
www.model.com/support/default.asp
for details.
Maintenance renewals and licenses
When maintenance is renewed, a new license file that incorporates the new
maintenance expiration date will be sent to you automatically. If maintenance is
not renewed, the current license file will still permit the use of software versions
built before maintenance expired until the stop date is reached.
License transfers and server changes
Model Technology and Mentor Graphics both charge a fee for server changes or
license transfers. Contact [e-mail]
for more information from Model
Technology, or contact your local Mentor Graphics sales office for Mentor
Graphics purchases.
