Licensing
Overview
ModelSim uses FlexLM licenses which are tied to a workstation or hardware ID
(see below for how to locate your ID). When you purchase ModelSim, we’ll
generate and email you a license file that you install on either a license server or
the stand-alone system running ModelSim. The following are two abbreviated
examples of license files, one for ModelTech licensing and one for Mentor
Graphics (MGC) licensing:
ModelTech license example

The installation instructions on subsequent pages tell you how to install the
license file. Keep in mind that you should modify the license file only as directed
in these instructions. Make sure you do not inadvertently add spaces or line breaks
to the file; this may prevent ModelSim from running.
