Dumb Question about Orcad on Linux

I've been using Orcad on PC for about a year now. I'm a unix lover and have gotten the Sys Admin to install Cadence 6.3 on our linux box and setup the license server.

However, I can't figure out what the executable for Orcad is called. There's no capture or orcad executable.

So how do I run it? Is there something special to install it?

Nope! OrCAD Capture is a "Windows only" tool compiled to run with Windows libraries, and that applies to any and all versions of OrCAD Capture. The SPB16.3 install for Linux will install the "UNIX" tools, that's Design Entry HDL for the front end, PCB Editor for physical backend, PCB Router for autorouting and PCB SI for signal integrity analysis. You could get PCB Editor to start from an OrCAD PCB Editor license but I doubt that the OrCAD PCB Editor level licensed product was tested on Linux.

Just refreshing the question once again since the post is a decade old.

With all new developments and updates can 17.4 OrCAD professional with PSpice work on Linux? or any other OS apart from Windows because there are many users who would prefer/currently working on different OS such as Linux or other apart from windows.
