[SOLVED] New component in ADS - protect with password

[zwireck]

Hello!
I have a following problem: I'd like to enclose my design in a "black box" (something like Edit --> Component --> Create Hierarchy) and protect this with a password (disable the option Push Into Hierarch).
I need to give my design to another university, so that they can perform some simulations with it (incloude it in a larger design) but they shouldn't be able to see how was it built in details (only black box with two inputs and one output).

Regards!

Hi zwireck,
You may use RF Intellectual Property Encoder option in Agilent ADS.
The RF IP Encoder provides a mechanism for sharing a simulatable Advanced Design System (ADS) schematic design or netlist without divulging your actual design information.
RF IP Encoder is accessible from the ADS Tools, menu once the product is properly installed. The following steps describe a typical process for encoding a design or netlist with RF IP Encoder:
Create your IP Library.
Encode your IP Library into an ADS Design Kit.
Package your Encoded IP Library.
Send the encoded IP to your model user.
Model user installs your Encoded IP Library.
Encoded IP Library is used within another design.

Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot - this seams to be a solution to my problem. However could you please post the second link (attachment) once again? When I click on the link a new page opens and the following message is displayed: "definitywnie 404"
