Managing Multiple IC-CAP Versions

This section discusses how to manage the licenses for multiple versions of IC-CAP.

Backward Compatibility of Codewords

The following table lists previous IC-CAP versions with details of their license management. The compatibility of codewords with the various IC-CAP versions is discussed below.

The following table shows the codeword compatibility between various IC-CAP releases. Note that codeword compatibility also depends on the whether the codeword was available in that release.

Combining IC-CAP 2008 Codewords with Other Agilent EEsof EDA Codewords

For IC-CAP 2008, the vendor daemon agileesofd is used. If you want to serve IC-CAP 2008 licenses and earlier from the same server, you need to have the latest version of lmgrd, v11.4.1, and one or more DAEMON lines in your license file, depending on how many versions you want to support. The IC-CAP daemon names available are:

agileesofd - for IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008

agileesof - for IC-CAP 2002

For example, the license file would include:

 SERVER hpnmems 77a588a7 1700
 
 VENDOR agileesofd C:\ICCAP_2008\licenses\vendors\agileesofd
 VENDOR agileesof C:\ICCAP_2002\licenses\vendors\agileesof

The INCREMENT lines for the different products would then be added to the file.

Note


		If combining codewords for IC-CAP 2002 and ADS 2002 or ADS 2002C, use the agileesof daemon included with ADS since it is a newer version than the one included with IC-CAP.

Here is how you might build a license file that contains IC-CAP 2008, ADS 2003C, and ADS 2002C codewords. The name and extension of the license file are arbitrary (i.e., license.lic or iccaplicenses.txt). By default, IC-CAP 2002, IC-CAP 2004, and IC-CAP 2008 look for a file named license.lic. You can use license.lic, or some other name you prefer. Whatever name you choose to use, make sure you set the environment variables to point to your license file.

Supported environment variables are:

•	AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE for IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008

•	AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE for IC-CAP 2002

For example, if the combined codeword file is named iccaplicenses.txt, then:

•	IC-CAP 2008 will use:

 AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=C:\ICCAP_2008\licenses\iccaplicenses.txt

•	IC-CAP 2002 will use:

 AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE=C:\ICCAP_2002\licenses\iccaplicenses.txt

Each version of IC-CAP uses a certain search order to look for the environment variable:

•

IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008 will first look for the environment variable named AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE. If both AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE are defined, IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008 will use AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE and ignore LM_LICENSE_FILE. If AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE is not defined, then IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008 will default to LM_LICENSE_FILE.

•

IC-CAP 2002 will first look for the environment variable named AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE. If both AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE are defined, IC-CAP 2002 will use AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE and ignore LM_LICENSE_FILE. If AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE is not defined, then IC-CAP 2002 will default to LM_LICENSE_FILE.

Note


		Even though all versions of IC-CAP will default to LM_LICENSE_FILE if that is the only environment variable that exists, it is recommended that you use AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE for IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008 and AGILEESOF_LICENSE_FILE for IC-CAP 2002.
