Clarification on Simulation Failures with Max. Jobs > 1 in ADE Assembler

Hello,

I am using IC23.1 and running AMS simulations on ADE Assembler.

I am encountering an issue while running a large number of corner/MC mismatch simulations (1000+ runs). To speed up the simulations, I set the Max. Jobs parameter to a value greater than 1 under Options > Job Policy > Simulation/Netlisting. However, when this value is increased, some simulation runs fail, and I receive the following error in the xrun.log:

FATAL (SPECTRE-209): Cannot run the simulation because the required license could not be checked out. Check the license usage in the license server or use the license queuing feature (+lqtimeout <timeout_value> in the command line) to wait until the required license is available. For more information about +lqtimeout, type 'spectre -h'.
Notice from spectre.

I assume the failures are caused by all available license tokens being occupied when multiple simulation jobs are launched simultaneously. This results in subsequent runs being unable to acquire the required licenses, leading to the error.

My questions are:

1. Is my assumption correct, or could there be other factors causing these failures?
2. What can I do to prevent this issue from happening?
3. Is there a setting in the ADE Assembler GUI that would allow the tool to wait until a license becomes available instead of immediately killing the job and returning an error?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,

Can
