the license file
When the license manager daemon is started, it must be able to find the license
file. The default location is
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
. You can change
where the daemon looks for the license file by one of two methods:
• By starting the license manager using the
-c <pathname>
option.
• By setting the LM_LICENSE_FILE (p54) environment variable to the path of
the file.

g
the license file search
By default, VSIM checks for the existence of both Model Technology and Mentor
Graphics generated licenses. When VSIM is invoked it will first locate and use
any available MTI licenses, then search for MGC licenses as needed. You can set
one of the following
vsim
command (p91) switches to narrow the search to
exclude or include specific licenses.
The options may be specified with the License (p420) variable in the
modelsim.ini
file; see the [vsim] section (p419).
