 Hi,
Recently i installed IC610 (cadence) in Redhat linux,but while running "icfb" i am getting many errors.When i give the comand "icfb" ,CIW opens but in between it ask for :"(delicense-7) couldnt get a license for schematics L.would you like to try to get a higherr tiered license to run this product?....(yes)..(no)..(always)..(never).."
By clicking any options,it process for some time and end up in giving the error..

The warnings and errors which is showing are--

" *WARNING* Cannot find /cad/cadence/ic6/tools.lnx86/dfII/etc/tools/cdsSpice directory to load environment variables
*WARNING* envSetVal: could not find tool[.partition] 'layoutOptimize.state'

    The problems probably all stem from having an old .cdsinit or .cdsenv file.

    The first is probably because there's some SKILL code in there which is trying to invoke some schematic function, which is causing it to try to check out a license. If it can't get either Virtuoso_Schematic_Editor_L or XL licenses, then the chances are your licenses have not been updated to reflect the new products.

    cdsSpice, spectreS and hspiceS are no more - hence errors for those - but these would probably only appear if there are some envLoadVals() calls or envLoadFile() calls in your .cdsinit. And some out of date .cdsenv files.

    That appears to be the major problem you're seeing. I can't open the doc you uploaded (for some reason, the web site is giving an error), so I'm not sure precisely which version you're using - hopefully it will be an IC613 hotfix, because IC610 itself is not recommended or even supported any more. Not that these errors have anything to do with that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
