HOW TO configure the license of the PDK Automation System(PAS) in windows

hi,

    I used to use PAS in linux and I know how to set the envoronment varibles on linux. now I have install the PAS in windows but didn't know how to set up the lic envoronment varibles and start up the license check server.  I have check all the pdf file but  none of them told me the specific way.   Could anyone tell me where to find the installation guide or just simply tell me how to configure the whole process?  

  The other question is is there guide that could inform me how to integrate the PDES10(pcell) into IC 616?  again, the soft include no guide.

thank in advance.

    I haven't ever tried installing PAS on Windows, and don't have a Windows machine on which to try it out - but I expect you'd need to set the CDS_LIC_FILE environment variable to point at your license server  (I'm assuming you wouldn't necessarily have the license server on the Windows machine as presumably you'd have licenses for other Cadence products hosted somewhere else). The best thing would be to contact customer support and then somebody can help you through your specific setup.

    The PDES10 release is Cadence PCell Designer and this is a services product which means that the license is only sold as part of a services contract which gives access to support, training and the licenses for the tool. The PDES10 release is only on downloads.cadence.com for contractual reasons and actually the version there is very old. You won't be able to use it unless you have a license for it, which is unlikely - if you do have a license, then you should be working through the agreed support channel as part of the services contract you have in place.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
