The following steps are what I have done sucessfully after installing ic5033,
1) In your terminal go to your installed directory(my installed directory is /usr/EDA/cadence) and type ln -s tools.lnx86 tools (observe that new link folder has been created in /usr/EDA/cadence called /tools and by now you should have other installed folders such as tools.lnx86 in /usr/EDA/cadence otherwise the installation place wasn't correct)
2) Copy the license.dat to /usr/local/flexlm/licenses
If this directory does not exit create it and install it in this directory.
3) Rename the license file to license.dat
Change the license header from
#SERVER server ANY 5280
#DAEMON cdslmd …
to
SERVER localhost.localdomain ANY 5280
DAEMON cdslmd /usr/EDA/tools.lnx86/bin/cdslmd
Make sure your remove #
4) Logout to a local user not root
5) Open terminal and type csh
6) Set the environment as following in order not to type them again and again
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/usr/EDA/cadence/tools.lnx86/bin
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/usr/EDA/cadence/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/usr/EDA/cadence/tools.lnx86/plot/bin
setenv CDSDIR /usr/EDA/cadence
setenv CDS_ROOT /usr/EDA/cadence
setenv CDS_INST_DIR /usr/EDA/cadence
setenv CDS_INSTALL_DIR /usr/EDA/cadence/tools.lnx86/dfII
setenv CDS_LIC_FILE
5280@localhost.localdomain
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog
/usr/EDA/cadence/tools.lnx86/bin/lmgrd -c license.dat > /usr/tmp/license.log
7)In order to test if the license is running you can type the following but this is not necessary
lmstat -a -c license.dat
