Virtuoso License Issue: status code -5.

Paulo Aguirre over 3 years ago

Hello Everyone,

I am facing some issues when working with Virtuoso Suite.

Sometimes the program freezes for some seconds and the message below is shown in the main window:

*WARNING* (icLic-203) Failed to check out license Analog_Design_Environment_XL ("95210") to run ADE L because of status code -5.
Attempting to check out the next available license Analog_Design_Environment_GXL ("95220") per license checkout order XL, GXL, L.
*WARNING* (icLic-204) Failed to obtain sufficient number of tokens for token capability Analog_Design_Environment_GXL ("95220") to run ADE L because of status code -5.
Attempting to check out the next available license Analog_Design_Environment_L ("95200") per license checkout order XL, GXL, L.
*WARNING* (icLic-205) Failed to check out license Analog_Design_Environment_L ("95200") to run ADE L because of status code -5.
Contact Cadence Customer Support with the status code -5.

Sometimes this message occurs while opening schematic/layout or during simulation.

I am using IC6.1.7-64b.78 and Spectre17.1.0.124 64bit. It is the Educational License.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Paulo.

Paulo,

Not sure why you're using the base release of an older version. There were some fairly significant changes in IC6.1.7 because of the introduction of ADE Explorer and Assembler, and you're using the very initial version with no hot fixes. A newer version really should be available even though you're in an academic setting.

It looks as if your problems might be related to the non-responsiveness of your license server, together with needing to optimise which licenses are checked for. Maybe this article will help: How to control license check out order L, XL, EXL or GXL for VLS, VSE and ADE? Enabling Explorer and Assembler or Maestro licenses for ADE. How to get rid of the Upgrade License or Next License popup?

Are you within the Europractice scheme? If so, you should contact them for support. If not, it's probably wise to get your university contact to contact customer support to allow us to help out with resolving this.

Regards,

Andrew
