Why need to launch license every time?

emax
emax over 12 years ago

I have installed ic610 on CentOS 6.4 but failed to open schematic editor with an error:

(deLicense-5) Could not get the license for Schematics. Open aborted. 

I found a solution on another forum and it works by launching the license first using command: lmli before starting the virtuoso in work directory.

Now I do not want to launch the license by typing "lmli" every time I start a new virtuoso. Is it possible to append a "lmli" command in .cdsinit or is there an alternate solution for this?

    Hi Andrew

    In my case virtuoso (ic610) starts without stating the license but of course the schematic editor does not start. I have veriffied this with "lmstat" command. Once I start the license with "lmli" command defined as alias in .bashrc as

    alias lmli='/home/eda/ic610/tools/bin/lmgrd -c /home/eda/ic610/share/license/license.dat'

    everything works fine.

    But I want the license to start at boot or at least automatically... how can I configure this? Please provide detailed configuration steps as I am new to linux.

    Also there is an issue mentioned in this post (reply #6):

    http://www.edaboard.com/thread148317.html

    that after editing LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment and invoking "source .bashrc" and using commands "killall lmgrd", "lmli", "virtuoso" there will be a license error... how that relates if the license is started at boot?

    Thanks
