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 I was looking in the available switches, there is one called 'license_order', but is says it is obsolete.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

  • Thanks Stephen,

    This is what I ended up doing. It does speed up the checkout sequence, but... I would rather like to be in control of the license checked out. For the P&R tool, for example, we could specify the license ( like 'encounter -vdi'). Sometime is for speed, sometime for keeping a specific license available. I have seen the same thing in Virtuoso. With versions up to 6.1.7, opening a layout view would get the Virtuoso L licence, if available, and only if it was not it was getting the XL or GXL license. With 6.1.8, it gets directly the XL ( I do not have GXL). One circuit designer wants to verify a license... he gets the XL although he does not need it and the license is no longer available for a layout designer who will need it.
