Opening ModGen (Module Generator) in Cadence

I was working with ModGen two weeks ago and it was fine. Now, I wanted to go back and do some modifications but I cannot open the menu! I used the following path:

Windows -> Assistant -> Constraint manager

But now, I do not have such menu which seems quite weird. Here is the screenshot:

Does anyone know what is the problem and how can I solve it? Briefly, I want to see the window on the right side of the Cadence to be able to edit ModGens and create new ones. Cadence Version is IC6.1.6-64b.500.6. Thanks.

    The constraint manager is only in Virtuoso Layout Suite XL (or GXL). You're using VLS L from the picture, and so the assistant won't show up. ModGens themselves require GXL licensing and so must be used in the XL or GXL environment.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
