SPB 16.6 BASE RELEASE NOT FOUND

KB202607102640

Hello everyone,

I have a legitimate Cadence OrCAD/SPB 16.6 standalone perpetual license purchased directly from Cadence.

However, the installation DVD I have contains only:

  • HotFix_SPB16.60.010_wint_1of1.exe (ISR10)
  • My license (.lic) file
  • The installation guide (PDF)

There is no SPB/OrCAD 16.6 Base Release installer (setup.exe, Disk1, Disk2, etc.).

When I run the HotFix installer, I receive the following error:

SPB 16.6 Base Release Not Found

I understand that the HotFix requires the Base Release to already be installed, but I do not have the Base Release installation media.

My questions are:

  1. Is the SPB/OrCAD 16.6 Base Release still available for customers with a standalone perpetual license?
  2. Can it still be downloaded from the Cadence Support Portal?
  3. If not, what is the recommended way to obtain the Base Release installer?
  4. Has anyone else encountered this situation where only the ISR DVD was provided?

I would appreciate any guidance from Cadence staff or users who have dealt with this issue.

Thank you.
