*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.

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.

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.

Dear Andrew,

Many thanks for your rapid reply. Wish you all the best in your work. You are such a kind person.

I will go to consult with customer support. Thanks

btw, I couldn't find CDS_LIC_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE, and CDS_LIC_ONLY under my file.

Furthermore, I tried again to type "source .cshrc" in the terminal and then ran virtuoso.

Even worse, it popped up the following message.

So if you type:

env | grep LIC

does it output anything in the shell? It may be that you have not got any environment variables defined to tell it where the license server is. I suspect you're running a pretty ancient version, because of the date on the lmstat command (Acresso became Flexera in 2009).

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for your rapid reply again. Sorry for bothering your day job. Here is the message report.

ntugiee@MK_CentOS[/home/ntugiee]#env|grep LIC
LM_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/cad/synopsys/license/sx_2010_license.dat
CDS_LIC_FILE=/usr/cad/cadence/license/full_license.dat:/usr/cad/cadence/license/mmsim10_license.dat
MGLS_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/cad/mentor/license/calibre2011_license.dat

I can find sx_2010_license.dat and calibre2011_license.dat under the right path. However, I even couldn't find the "license" file under the /usr/cad/cadence.

I would like to ask if I should make the directory which names license and then download that file, full_license.dat, on Cadence. Or I should download the whole package, ICADV12.3, to get that file.

Thanks a lot. 

You truly a kind man.

Appreciate

Daniel

You won't get the license file by downloading the software again - the license files are shipped separately as they are unique per customer. You need to contact your account team (or University program) to ensure you have the license file (and the license server needs to be set up too).

Explaining all of this is beyond the scope of these forums, to be honest as I don't know anything about what products you have (or even who you are). So customer support is the right channel.

Regards,

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for your reply! I got it.

I will go to seek help.

Dear Andrew,

I simply change my network connection setting of VMware from NAT(share the host's IP address) to Bridged(Connected directly to the physical network). And it solved.

Thanks

Sincerely

Daniel
