How to get product to license feature mapping information?

galenxiao

When I run simulation with irun, it may use may license features. How can I know which feature(s) a product use? I get below message in cdnshelp:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Which Products Are in the License File?


One Cadence product can require more than one license (FEATURE). The product to feature mapping in the license file lists the licenses each product needs.


For example, if the license file lists these features for the NC-VHDL Simulator:


Product Name: Cadence(R) NC-VHDL Simulator
#
Type: Floating Exp Date: 31-jul-2006 Qty: 1
#
Feature: NC_VHDL_Simulator [Version: 9999.999]
#
Feature: Affirma_sim_analysis_env [Version: 9999.999]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

But, in my license file, I can't find such info. There is only "FEATURE" lines in my license file. How can I get product to feature mapping info?

Thanks!

  • -licinfo

    Outputs the license requirements for a design without running the simulation.

    When specified on the xmsim or xrun command line, this option generates a report on what licenses are needed using the following parameters:

    The contents of the design (AMS, SystemC, SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, and so on) as well as other options specified on the command line.

    The simulator will not check out any licenses and will not simulate the design when the -licinfo option is used. The software only loads the snapshot header to identify the current license needs.

    You can also refer to the following article for more information on Xcelium licensing.

    Hi muffi, thank you very much! But this option only works well for xrun. It seems irun does not have this option. How can I get license requirements of irun ?

    Hi. -licinfo option works with iron also. Did you try it?

    Yes I've tried irun, but it reports below warning:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following -l options were used, however no libraries are being build and hal was not requested:
    -licinfo

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The version of my irun is: irun(64): 13.20-s038

    It seems that "-lxxx" is a valid option of irun, if I use -licinfo, irun will think I want to use a library named "icinfo"......

    You're using an extremely old Incisive version, from before the -licinfo switch was added, so it's interpreting the -licinfo as a request to link a shared library called libicinfo.so.

    Cadence stopped all support for Incisive some time ago, and really you should aim to upgrade to Xcelium to get support and better capabilities.
