I don't see the Allegro PCB Design CIS L suite when opening Orcad Capture

avant

When I try to open Capture, I don't see the Allegro PCB Design CIS L option. I cannot open Capture using this choice. The other suite options are always checked out.

We are using a server based license.

The software reseller has not solved our issue.

Here's what other users see as choices when opening Capture:

Here's what I see:

I cannot open Capture using the Allegro feature. I have to have someone else create netlist files for me.

We are using version 17.2 S070

Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like you just need to install Allegro CIS from the installer (probably not the entire front end to layout suite.  Just Allegro CIS.)

    I personally use a VAR.  But, I work for a company having Virtuoso licenses.   

    Cadence cannot sell/issue Orcad CIS licenses.  But, Cadence can issue Allegro CIS licenses to us.
