Cadence 16.3 and 16.5

DawnC

Does anyone run both 16.3 and 16.5 on the same terminal?  I would like to have both verions running but I am worried about the licensing.  If you have any experience with this I would greatly appreciate your knowledge.

    You can install both versions on the same computer. The 16.5 license will run 16.5 and anything older. When you install you will have a Cadence\SPB_16.3 folder and a Cadence\SPB_16.5 folder. The path and environment settings use a setting called CDSROOT and this is defines as CADENCE\SPB_16.x depending on which release you are running. To switch between the two use the Cadence Switch Release tool which is installed in the Start - All Programs area of the computer and gives you the option to switch between the two releases.

    Have you done this :-) ?  I know the licensing scheme changed from previous versions to 16.5, so I am little hesitant that this works.

     Our experience: It will not work with 15.x versions.  We required a specail lincense from Cadence to run 15.7.
