License installation issue

ArbLouis
ArbLouis over 2 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to configure the cadence license file but, when I run the ./configure script I get this message:

A valid license file has only SERVER, DAEMON, and FEATURE lines.
File license.XXXXX is an ASCII file but is not a valid license file.
It might contain extra lines. Please remove any extra lines
and redo configuration.

I would be grateful if you can help me.

    From the error message, it sounds as if you're trying to use the wrong file. Since you shouldn't post your license file here, the right thing to do is to contact customer support (Create a support case on the site). That's what it's for... (or speak to your account team).
