EE 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.

# NOTE: You can edit the hostname on the SERVER line (1st arg),
# the port address on the SERVER line (3rd arg), the paths
# to the daemon and options files on the DAEMON line
# (2nd and 3rd args), or any right-half of a string (b)
# of the form a=b where (a) is all lowercase. (For example,
# xxx in vendor_info="xxx" can be changed).
# Any other changes will invalidate this license.
A Globetrotter FLEXlm license file contains information about the license server,
the daemon required to authorize the feature, and a line for each product feature
you are authorized to execute.
The first line is a SERVER line; it spells out which computer on the network is the
license server. The license server is a network resource that will manage the
features for all users of ModelSim products. The SERVER line includes the
server's hostname, hostID (a unique serial number), and a socket number. The
hostname and socket number may be changed in a license file, but any change to
the hostID will invalidate the license. If the host is a Windows machine, the hostID
is the FLEXid security key number, and will take the alpha-numeric form:
7-xxxxxxxx.
If you need to find the unique server ID, use one of these UNIX commands: for
Sun,
hostid
; for HP,
/etc/lanscan
; for IBM RISC/6000:
uname -m
. On a
Windows machine, use the FLEXlm license manager control panel.
