Cadence switch release

KhangLeSVPV
KhangLeSVPV over 1 year ago

Hi everyone,

I have a question about Cadence switch release.
There are 3 versions (16.6; 17.2 and 17.4) in our PCB computers. To make cadence switch release run right, I need add domain user into local admin group then they can run it as admin to help file can auto open among versions. However, my boss does not allow they have local admin rights, I wonder if we have any other solution to remove them out of local admin but they still can use Cadence switch release.
Please give me any idea.

Thank you so much,

Khang

    Hi,

    sorry for miss understanding, I know that Cadence switch release tool can help me change between version but it must be run as administrator.However, I need to find out how to run it without admin right because of IT policies.

    Thanks,

    Khang
