What do I need to install?

Another Kyle

I have a user who wants to use IC6 and spectre.

I don't see spectre with IC6 (IC 616 installed last week).  On a different system, I see spectre installed in 6 other packages: EDI142, SPB166, SSV151, MMSIM141, INNOVUS151, ETS131.  In InstallScape, I also see SPECTRE 171 (and 181, and 191).

Which do I need?  How do I find out what I need?

Thanks,
Kyle

    Hi Kyle,

    spectre is shipped separately from the IC stream since 2004 (it was last in the IC stream in IC5141, which was also released in 2004, but even with that you should use spectre from the separate stream). That separate stream was called "MMSIM" up to and including MMSIM151 and then was renamed SPECTRE. MMSIM141 came out in 2014, and there have been MMSIM151, SPECTRE161, SPECTRE171, SPECTRE181, and SPECTRE191 since then.

    Why are you using a long obsolete IC release (IC616 came out in 2013, and was last fixed in 2015)? In fact all the releases you mention are old.

    There may be bits of spectre in the other releases (I know in SPB releases it has some debris from some of the spectre packages, but none of SPB, EDI, SSV, INNOVUS or ETS would have a complete spectre installation).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Because the person with the license refuses to let us upgrade it.

    Thanks, I will install SPECTRE.
