Start the license manager daemon by entering the following commands:

ModelSim PDF documentation requires Adobe Acrobat Reader version

3.01 (Reader with Search is recommended). Installation files for the Reader with Search are in the Acrobat directory on the ModelSim CD, or available directly from Adobe at: http://www.adobe.com/

Searching PDF files

The Acrobat Reader with Search provides two methods for finding text within PDF documents: Search (fast, indexed search), and Find (slower text search). Look for these icons on the A crobat Reader toolbar:

Search icons help you quickly search through an

indexed PDF document. The small binocular icon (the Find icon is larger) returns a search criteria dialog box. To use Search you must be viewing an

initiates a simple text search of the PDF file. Depending on the speed of your machine and the size of the file, Find can be slow (but effective).

Requirements for Acrobat Search

To use Acrobat Search with Model file /directory str ucture. If you in stalle d Mo d el downloaded the documentation se t from our web s ite (http://www.model.com

A Globetrotte r FLEXlm lic en se file co ntains inform ation a bout the licens e server, the daemon required to authorize the feat ure, and a line for each product feature you are authoriz ed to e xecute.

The fi rs t li n e is a SERVE R li n e; it spell s ou t w h ich com p ut er on the network is the license server. The license server is a network resource that will manage t he feat ures for al l u sers of Mode l

products . T he S ERVER

line inc ludes the server's h ostname (the server’s ne twork ident ification - for Windows, check the Network properti es I dentification tab), hostID (a unique serial number), and a socket number. The hostname and socket number may be chan ged in a l icense fi le, bu t an y change to the host ID will invalidate the li cense. If the host is a Windows m achine, the hostID is the FLEXid security key number, and will take the alpha-numeric form: 7-xxxxxxxx, or 8-xxxxxxxx.

If you need t o find the un ique server ID, use one of th ese UNIX commands: for Sun,

hostid

; for HP,

/etc/l anscan

; for IBM RISC/6000:

uname -m

. To determine th e security key ID on a Windows ser ver, from the DOS prompt, invoke:

lmutil lmho stid -fle xid

(located in the

modelsim\win32

directory).

A DAEMON line specifies the name of the license daemon and the location s of the daemon an d opti ons fil es it wil l use . This is the full pa th t o the modeltech daemon. In the example file, the UNIX ". /" means "look in the current di rector y". This is the dire ctory i n whi ch the se rver was s tarte d. If the server is to be started from another directory, the full path to the

modeltech

Notice the FEATURE lines. If a line is too long for the email program, a backslash ("\") appears at the end of the line. A UNIX system reads that as "whatever you read on the ne xt l ine be longs o n thi s li ne". So never edit ou t the "\" when you ar e transcribi ng a license file .

All the import ant l ines end in c hecksums . FLEXlm will let you kno w if you mistyped something when transc ribing the license files because the checksu m wil l not ma tch the line's contents.
