OrCad Capture license issue

mattew

I get a problem about capture 's license.capture and cadence's license server work fine on my computer all the time,but a few days ago i get a warrning when launch capture like this:

"OrCAD Capture license was not found.

Would you like to launch Capture using lite license?

Click the Help buttom to view the limitations in the lite version of the tool".

I clicked "Yes" to launch Capture using lite license.I thought orcad capture will get well when license server recover.but it didn't.after that,capture enter lite version every time.I tried to fix this problem.

I checked license sever,it's OK,other people's capture  work fine.we use the same cadence license sever.

I checked my computer's "CDS_LIC_FILE" enviroment.it's VALUE is right too.

I have no idea about  how to fix it,is there any one can tell me how to make it right.thanks a lot

 

  • Something that you might check is that you only have one, or the "correct", network adapter enabled. There have been some issues with users with wired and wireless network adapters both enabled and apparent confusion with packet routing with the license server, OR having a wired, or wireless, adapter enabled but the license server is on "the other" network segment so there is actually no route to the license server on the enabled adapter. Being offered the option to start in "Lite" mode is indicative of not being able to get a license, if it only takes a couple of seconds to bring up the "Lite" offer, you are likely communicating with the license server but it is not able to provide a license, check the license manager log file - you may need the server admin to get that - if it takes "minutes" to bring up the "Lite" offer, you are, most likely, not communicating with the license server.

  • I have an isse with OrCAD capture license all of a sudden. I have been running version 16.5 (out-of-date revision for sure but can't recall which one I was on) for many months. In last 2-3 weeks I had some sudden crashes on the OrCAD Cature. Today, I am unable to start OrCAD. After a few mintes a window pops-up "OrCAD Capture License was not found. Would you like to launch Capture using lite license?" When I click on Yes, it does bring up the Capture. Furthermore, I am able to ping our server successfully. I have re-booted the PC but I still can't get OrCAD to start in its full mode. I am running it on Windows 7. Someone suggested uninstall and re-install of the software which feels like an overkill but sometimes that is what is necessary. Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks in advance.

  • It sounds like you may have locked the license tokem at the license manager, try restarting the Cadence License Manager Service on the machine running the License Manager, for a default configuration using services, the service can be restarted from Control Panel, Admin.. Tools, Services, locate the Cadence License Manager, select it and Restart. You will need to get the server administrator to restart the service if you don't have admin acess to the server.
