Please review the followings:

license.dat file at /usr/local/flexlm/licenses
--------------------------------------------------
SERVER vlsi0 000102b10a10 5280
DAEMON cdslmd /export/tools/cadence/IC5141/tools.lnx86/bin/cdslmd

I login as GUEST and run the source .cshrc in C-Shell.
Then I run
lmgrd -c /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat

Then the license manager starts running as follows:

incisive_verif_engine

i think you l!cen$e is start correctly.
the problem is here "setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE @5280@vlsi0". it would be "setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 5280@vlsi0".

 

[Akhter Hossain]

cshrc ic5141

I already corrected the problem of the line

setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 5280@vlsi0

The problem still remains. Need your help.
Regds.

 

[qutang]

the os has not cleared this port since lmgrd died

I think is the problem of license.I don't have the license.

 

[Akhter Hossain]

ic5141 license

The license file is sent by cadence against a host ID for the port number
5280. I already tried with the port 5281, 5282 or 5283 and the response is
similar. Do you think the problem is with the OS?

 

[ghostdaemon]

how to license cadence ic5141

Would pls try the nocked license ,not the floating license .

 

[eins99]

cdslmd

This license has options of "UHD" in it, which allows UserName/HostName/DisplayName based options to get the license. Do you have an Option file that describes any of these types of permission ?
From the log, the license server starts correctly. Maybe the Options check failed from the client tool.

 

[gszczesz]

tcp port 5280

Could you post your hosts file, as well as the result of "uname -a ".

I think that you need to add into hosts vlsi0 is the address 127.0.0.1 and not anything else.

does not support feature assura_drc

Hi,
I've read almost every topic on this forum about installing Cadence on Linux and I'm very confused.
I installed it on RH AS4. Although many ppl say Rh 7.3 is the best I don't wanna use it. Please don't say it can't work on my distro because there were so many succesfull installations on many different distros that I won't believe it can't run on mine.
As almost every person here I have problems with configuration. What to add to my .bashrc file and what don't. Everybody says different things:
1st instruction
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/tools/cds5/tools.lnx86/bin
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/tools/cds5/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin
setenv PATH {$PATH}:/tools/cds5/tools.lnx86/plot/bin
setenv CDSDIR /tools/cds5
setenv CDS_ROOT /tools/cds5
setenv CDS_INST_DIR /tools/cds5
setenv CDS_INSTALL_DIR /tools/cds5/tools.lnx86/dfII
setenv CDS_LIC_FILE 5280(at)localhost.localdomain
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog

2nd instruction
CDS_ROOT=/usr/eda/cadence/IC5033.Base
CDS_INST_DIR=/usr/eda/cadence/IC5033.Base
CDS_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/eda/cadence/IC5033.Base/tools/dfII/
export CDS_LIC_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.EQUALIZER
export PATH=$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:$PATH
export CDS_Netlisting_Node Analog
/tools/cds5/tools.lnx86/bin/lmgrd –c license.dat

3rd one:
setenv CDS /export/tools/cadence/IC5141
setenv CDS_INSTALL_DIR $CDS/tools.dfII
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$CDS/tools.lnx86/lib:$CDS/tools.lnx86/leapfrom/lib"
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE @5280(at)vlsi0
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog
setenv PATH
"$CDS/tools.lnx86/bin:$CDS/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin:$CDS/tools.lnx86/leapfrog/bin"

I know I have to use "export" command because of .bashrc file not .cshrc.
But look at different license file descriptions. Should it be:
export CDS_LIC_FILE=5280(at)localhost.localdomain or
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=5280(at)localhost.localdomain or
export CDS_LIC_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat or
export LM_LICENCE_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat ????

Where should the license.dat file be placed? In:
CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat or in
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat ???

Cadence license configuration tool uses the first path and the "lmgrd -c" command uses the second one.

In license file in the SERVER line I cannot write exactly "localhost.localdomain" but the host name of my PC which is in the UNIX prompt. Am I correct?

When I type lmgrd -c license.dat I get the following message.

9:05:04 (lmgrd) The TCP port number in the license, 5280, is already in use.
19:05:04 (lmgrd) Possible causes:
19:05:04 (lmgrd) 1) lmgrd is already running for this license.
19:05:04 (lmgrd) 2) The OS has not "cleared" this port since lmgrd died.
19:05:04 (lmgrd) 3) Another process is using this port number (unlikely).
19:05:04 (lmgrd) Solutions:
19:05:04 (lmgrd) 1) Make sure lmgrd and all vendor daemons for this
19:05:04 (lmgrd) license are not running.
19:05:04 (lmgrd) 2) You may have to wait for the OS to clear this port.
19:05:04 (lmgrd) Retrying for about 5 more minutes
19:08:04 (lmgrd) Still trying...
19:08:22 (lmgrd) Still trying...
19:08:37 (lmgrd) Failed to open the TCP port number in the license.

How can I chceck if it works fine? What can I do about it?

In addition when I type lmstat -a -c license.dat I get sth like this:

License server status: 5280@myhostname
License file(s) on myhostname: /Cadence/share/license/license.dat:

lmgrd is not running: Server node is down or not responding (-96,482)

Does anybody know how to solve this? Help is much appreciated.
regards!

cadence ic5141 on redhat linux 5

your port 5280 already was used
so you must restart the computer first or shunt down "lmgrd"

 

[Angler25]

redhat lm_license_file

I've already tried restrarting the computer but it's all the same.

Notice, that when I type : lmgrd -c license.dat I get
lmgrd is already running for this license.

But when I type: lmstat -a -c license.dat it says
lmgrd is not running: Server node is down or not responding (-96,482)

Isn't it strange?

this is because the daemon starts at the start up

first use "lmdown" to shut down the daemon

license for ic5141

again, should install it on RHEL 4 or 3, the redhat 8 is too old.
