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.

Release Name	License File Version	Daemon Name	FLEX Version	License Environment Variable	Default License File Location
IC-CAP 2001	6.0	agileesof	FLEXlm 7.2h	LM_LICENSE_FILE	$ICCAP_ROOT/licenses/
IC-CAP 2002	6.1	agileesof	FLEXlm 7.2h	LM_LICENSE_FILE
IC-CAP 2004	2.3	agileesofd	FLEXlm 8.2a CRO	AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE
IC-CAP 2006	2.3.5	agileesofd	FLEXnet 10.1.3 CRO	AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE
IC-CAP 2008	2.7	agileesofd	FLEXnet 11.4.1	AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE

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 which versions you want to support. The IC-CAP daemon names available are:

agileesofd - for IC-CAP 2004/2006/2008

agileesof - for IC-CAP 2002/2001

For example, the license file would include:

SERVER hpnmems 77a588a7 1700

VENDOR agileesofd /iccap2008/licenses/vendors/agileesofd
VENDOR agileesof /iccap2002/licenses/vendors/agileesof

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

Here is how you might build a license file that contains IC-CAP 2008, ADS 2003C, ADS 2002C, and IC-CAP 2001 codewords. The name and extension of the license file are arbitrary (i.e., license.dat, license.lic or iccaplicenses.txt). By default, all IC-CAP versions up to and including IC-CAP 2001 look for a file named license.dat and IC-CAP 2002, IC-CAP 2004, and IC-CAP 2008 look for a file named license.lic. You can use one of these names, 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:

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

AGILEESOFD_LICENSE_FILE=/licenses/iccaplicenses.txt

LM_LICENSE_FILE=/licenses/iccaplicenses.txt

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