Dear All,
I m trying to do DRC with Calibre in Virtuoso. But while doing Calibre>nmDRC, I m getting the following error:
// ERROR: The following products could not be licensed sufficiently:
// ERROR: - Calibre Interactive


Also when I type on command line, get the same response. Please guide me about the proper settings for the Calibre to integrate into Virtuoso (IC6).
-bash-4.2$ calibre -gui -drc
Code dot - [expand]

With the same license file, my modelsim is working perfectly.

Please help and guide, what environmental variables should I keep.
Best Regards

Have you recently updated the version of Calibre being used? There were license server updates in v2015.2 (went to FLEXnet 11.11) and v2016.1 (went to FLEXnet 11.13). If you switched over either of those boundaries, you'll need to switch between license servers probably.

One way to be on the safe side is to use the mgcld license server at <calibre_install_path>/pkgs/mgls/lib.

Hope that helps-

Sam.
 

Thanks alot dear. The
The calibre version is 2015-2016.
How to use the mgcld license server at <calibre_install_path>/pkgs/mgls/lib.
Should I use MGLS_LICENSE_FILE=<calibre_install_path>/pkgs/mgls/lib
Regards
 

The best place to ask about correct setup for licensing is your system admin or CAD group, assuming there is one, because every place has a different mix of software and environment.

If you are the one who is also administering Calibre and Virtuoso, these bits may help:
  • From the Calibre Administration Guide (2016.2 version, but this bit seems pretty stable):
    MGLS_LICENSE_FILE

    This variable is used when multiple products have FLEXnet licensing to allow other vendor products to use the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable, while allowing Mentor Graphics licensing products to get their licenses from the value of MGLS_LICENSE_FILE. Only Mentor Graphics software recognizes this variable; software from other vendors that use FLEXnet licensing ignore it.
    Click to expand...
  • The MGC licensing instructions are in <calibre_install_directory>/docs/pdfdocs/mgc_licen.pdf (and possibly on SupportNet, but then you have to make sure you have the correct version). It has sections on setting up the license server in various ways, and troubleshooting.

Best regards-

Sam.
