How can I set the license of usage in Ocean ?

Ichiro,

I have no idea what you're asking here. Please clarify.

In general the application will checkout whatever licenses it needs. You're presumably asking how to restrict access to licenses somehow, but I don't understand precisely what you're asking for.

Hi Andrew,

I want to expressly checkout ADE-L license when I start Ocean script without getting assembler license which is bought by other department.  It means our department has no right (no priority) for the assembler license.

Ichiro,

If you do this at the beginning:

envSetVal("license" "ADELicenseCheckoutOrder" 'string  "L")
envSetVal("license" "adeMaestroCheckoutOrder" 'string  "Classic")

then it will only check out ADE L licenses. This means that if ADE L licenses are not available, then the OCEAN script will fail, of course.

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the idea, but I'm not sure where commands should be inserted.

How about at the beginning of the OCEAN script? Or at the OCEAN prompt or Virtuoso prompt before doing a load("oceanScript.ocn") - I don't know how you're running it. Essentially they need to be called before the simulator() call within the script (that triggers the license checkout; there are other things that do too, but assuming it's a normal OCEAN script that runs simulation, it would be the simulator() call that checks out the license).

---run command---

runVirtuosotoolL -ver test_IC618 -T ocean -restore start.ocn

---start.ocn---

envSetVal("license" "ADELicenseCheckoutOrder" 'string  "L")
envSetVal("license" "adeMaestroCheckoutOrder" 'string  "Classic")

my code...

---end of my code---

It occurred errors..

ERROR (ELI-00111) Failed to check out license 'Virtuoso_Visual_Analysis_XL'.
ERROR (ELI-00111) Failed to check out license 'Analog_Design_Environment_L'.
ERROR (ELI-00111) Failed to check out license 'Analog_Design_Environment_L'.
ERROR (ELI-00131) License check out failed for tier 'XL'. Ensure that this tier is defined in the 'license:adeMaestroCheckoutOrder' variable in your local .cdsenv file.

OK, as I said, it will fail now if you don't have an ADE L license. From the error above, you don't have any (free) ADE L licenses, so it's doing what you asked. 

Presumably you do actually have some ADE L licenses, but they're all in use? Otherwise restricting your script to require ADE L is a bit of a limitation!

No one uses ADE-L license now, and I can simulate with ADE-L too. So, should I edit any environment variables ?

Presumably if you're simulating in ADE L, you've actually checked out a different license. Normally ADE searches for several alternative licenses when the ADE L license isn't available. When you're running ADE L, check with Options->License in the CIW and see what license you're actually using.

Yes, you're right. As you said, I maybe don't have ADE-L license because I use explore license in simulation from ADE-L GUI.

I understood I can only use explore license.

Thanks,
