Is there the ability to check in an ADE Assembler license outside of the License manager?

Hi,

I am using SKILL code to do netlist generation outside of the ADE gui. I do the following:

envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "setTopLevelAsSubckt" `boolean t)
envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "switchViewList" 'string "spectre cmos_sch cmos.sch schematic veriloga symbol")
envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "stopViewList" 'string "spectre symbol")

design(theForm~>myLibField~>value theForm~>myCellField~>value theForm~>myViewField~>value)

createNetlist(?recreateAll nil)

After execution the ADE Assembler license is still checked out. I know of 2 ways to "check in" the license.

1) Open the ADE assembler gui and close it.

2) In the License manager set the idle time to a small number. 

I would prefer to just "check in" the license after the createNetlist call is done. Is this possible? 

Thank you,

Brian

P.S. - I am using cadence version ICADV 12.3-64b.8

    Add the call:

    ocnCloseSession()

    to the end of your script (or at least after you've finished with any of the OCEAN functionality in the script). This will release the ADE license from your OCEAN script.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
