    PC server or stand-alone PC (key drivers are loaded during installation). If a printer or other device is using the parallel port, install the security key on the port first, then attach that device to the key.
  • Page 11 During installation you will be asked to choose a Sentinel driver for your specific FLEXid security key. The number on your FLEXid security key (something like 7-xxxxxxxx, or 8-xxxxxxxx) relates to the driver you will select. Copy license.dat (the license file you received by email when you purchased ModelSim) to C:\modelsim\win32\license.dat, or to your specific ModelSim pathname if different.

    If your license server is a UNIX workstation, make sure you are running lmgrd version 5.12b. If you have ModelSim 5.2 installed on the UNIX server, you have the current version - earlier lmgrd versions will not work for Windows machines accessing the server. If you need a new version of lmgrd, please download it from: http://www.globetrotter.com/lmgrd.htm.

    The more preliminary information customers can supply about a problem or issue at the beginning of the reporting process, the sooner the Software Support Engineer (SSE) can supply a solution or workaround. Information of most help to the SSE includes accurate operating system and software version numbers, the steps leading to the problem or crash, the first few lines of a traceback, and problem sections of the Procedural Interface code.

    Technical support - electronic support services • Technical support - other channels All customers: Model Sim EE licensing ModelSim EE uses Globetrotter’s FLEXlm license manager and files. Globetrotter FLEXlm license files contain lines that can be referred to by the word that appears first on the line. Each kind of line has a specific purpose and there are many more kinds of lines that MTI does not use.
  • Page 30 If you need to find the unique server ID, use one of these UNIX commands: for Sun, hostid; for HP, /etc/lanscan; for IBM RISC/6000: uname -m. To determine the security key ID on a Windows server, from the DOS prompt, invoke: lmutil lmhostid -flexid (located in the modelsim\win32 directory).
  • Page 31 For example, DAEMON modeltech /usr/mti5.2/sunos5/modeltech \ /usr/mti5.2/sunos5/options A FEATURE line describes how many licenses ("tokens") are available; it contains the feature name, daemon required, most current build date authorized to run, token expiration date, number of tokens for the feature, license code, and a checksum.

  • Page 32: All Customers: Maintenance Renewals And Ee Licenses

    All customers: maintenance renewals and EE licenses When maintenance is renewed, a new license file that incorporates the new maintenance expiration date will be automatically sent to you. If maintenance is not renewed, the current license file will still permit the use of any version of the software built before the maintenance expired until the stop date is reached.
