license search order in Xcelium

Mugurel

Our company used to have licenses for both Xcelium_Limited_Single_Core and Xcelium_Single_Core. Recently the management decided to only buy the last one. Now, when somebody tries to run xmverilog, it takes a very long time until it starts working. In the license server log I see the instance is trying six times to check out the 'limited' license ( not available) and eventually gives up and gets the second one. If there are multiple verilog files ... it is doing it for each. I was looking in the available switches, there is one called 'license_order', but is says it is obsolete. I cannot find any info on how to force it to check in the available license.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

  • Normally the license checking should be very fast and the order shouldn't matter, but if you're using the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable to point to multiple license servers from multiple vendors, it can slow things down. If possible, try using the CDS_LIC_FILE variable to point to the cdslmd server(s) only, and also set CDS_LIC_ONLY to stop Xcelium from using the LM_LICENSE_FILE settings.
