PCELL and Parasitic menu's are missing in layout view

Hi,

   I am trying to explore pcell creation using Virtuoso® parameterized cell software. But I can't able to find it in Launch->Pcell menu. This is similar to other options like Parasitics, Power EM/IR etc. Whether these virtuoso tools requires separate licensing? If not, am I missing any environment variables those are to enable these options?

    Andrew,
    Yes, I am using IC617 and can able to find out PCell option there. I am new to pcell coding and thought of starting with Virtuoso® parameterized cell. I had similar questions on Cadence PCell Designer licencing. How I can verify Cadence PCell Designer available in my installation?

    Thanks for your help.
