Cadence IC 6.1.6 license error

To whom it may help

 

Recently, we are downloading and installing the newest version Cadence (IC6.1.6 and MMSIM 12.1...etc) from the europractice-ic, however, we get an error message: 

 \o *ERROR* (DB-320001): Unable to get the Cadence(R) Design Framework II license feature "111".

 

We have double checked our license sever setting , and believe it is fine.

Becase we can still use Cadence IC 5141 and Cadence IC 6.1.4, they all working fine.

 

But based on the same license setting, we can not invoke the Cadence IC 6.1.6

 

Below is the CDS.log message:

Any suggestion regarding this error ? Do we need to renew our license to specific include the Cadence IC 6.1.6?

    Each time you update to a new major version, you need to update your licenses. This can be done via the Software Update link at the top of the page on support.cadence.com. Note this is not just for IC releases, but for all release streams that you may be using. 

    The version number of the license feature in the license file has to be greater than or equal to that expected for each release. This is to ensure that software updates are only available to customers on subscription or maintenance contracts.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew
