*ERROR* (DB-320001): Unable to get the Cadence(R) Design Framework II license feature of "111".

Presumably your issue is one of:

1. The license server is no longer running
2. You've run out of 111 licenses
3. The licenses have expired
4. The server isn't reachable
5. You have $CDS_LIC_FILE or $LM_LICENSE_FILE set to the wrong place

Possibly others...

If you do "lmstat -f 111 -c $CDS_LIC_FILE" what does it report (in a UNIX shell)?

Regards,

Andrew.

Thank so much, Andrew. You helped me one more time. The problem is my Licenses server is down. I have fixed it.

Have a good day!

Hi Duy,

Kindly let me know how did you fix the license issue? I am facing the same problem but am unable to do something about it.

Thanks

Hi Kashif Zia,

If you use network license, check your server which hold the license. It may be turned off and causes problem.

Hi Andrew,

I'm facing the same issue. I've checked all the possible issues you mentioned, seems everything fine.

I'm using the network license.

license server is up and running.

Hi Rena,

Which version of Virtuoso are you trying to run? What does "virtuoso -W" return at the command line?

Regards,

Andrew.

Hello Andrew,

This is the return for "virtuoso -W".

sub-version  IC6.1.6-64b.500.4

Regards ,

Rena

Hi Rena,

Nothing obvious jumps out in that case - it could be that somebody has restricted the access to the licenses, or it could potentially be that you're running an old version of the license daemons. I would suggest that you would be best to contact customer support to explore this in more detail.

Regards,

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

I have the same problems as he does. After changing the kernel file(.cshrc, .bashrc), and I re-run it. Then, I can't access to virtuoso anymore. (btw, I still use ICADV12.3)

The terminal pops up the following message:

ntugiee@MK_CentOS[/home/ntugiee]#ERROR (DB-320001): Failed to check out the 'Cadence(R) Design Framework II' license. Run 'lmstat -f 111' command to check the license usage status.
Contact Cadence Customer Support for assistance.
lmstat -f 111

Error getting status: No SERVER lines in license file. (-13,66)
[1] + Exit 111 virtuoso

and I check the above issues you raise, I find the network is unreachable after I type a command," ping 8.8.8.8", to check.

But I double-check the network cable line of my host computer, and it solidly links to my computer, which means it can link to Cadence with the right IP.

Therefore, I would like to ask if it is the network problem contributing to can't access to virtuoso. If it is, how to solve it.

Thanks in advance.

Appreciate 

Daniel

What is $CDS_LIC_FILE set to? Do you have $LM_LICENSE_FILE set? What about $CDS_LIC_ONLY?

To be honest, this is best handled by customer support so that you can get a response in a timely fashion (I'm a bit busy with the day job today).

Andrew.
