can someone help with the license file, I install ok, patch ok, but the part about "set up license server" doesn't work. do I need to change something in the orcad16.lic file ??

Better to disable firewall or make sure you donot block any of the orcad app nor the license manager
Follow these Steps (NOTE there are slashes in the file paths like after C:. for some reason they dont appear when I post the comment)
1. Install the license manager first by choosing Set Up Licensing from setup.exe. Donot enter any paths. for license file. Leave it blank.
2. Copy the contents of license_manager from SHooTERS folder to installed dir C:OrCADlicense_manager. Overwrite files.
3. Open orcad16.lic (stored on the hard drive not from the CD) in text editor and replace this_host with the name of the Computer (in the first line of the file), and save the file.
4. Run setup again and choose Set up License and enter the path of license file C:OrCADlicense_managerorcad16.exe .Click Next. Ignore the failure error and press Cancel.
5. Run setup again, and choose Install products, enter port as 5280 and host id/name as the name of your Computer. Next select the apps you want to install. Leave the installinfo and contr.. file paths blank.
6. After the installation is completed, go to Start->Programs->Cadence License Manager->License Manager Tools and change the path of license file to
C:OrCADlicense_managerorcad16.lic in the Config Services tab. (it would be some license.dat initially)
7. Click on Start Server button in the Satrt/Stop/Reread tab of the license manager utility. Next click on Reread License File. Wait for the reread operation to be completed (see status bar).
8. Now check if the Cadence License Manager service is running in the Control Panel->Administrator Tools->Services.
9. Done

hi rocket123, this is Manoj. i followed all the steps as given here. but in setp 7 , it miserably fails. when i press reread license file button , it says "reread server failed". . in the license file should i change the id ??? can u please help me in this regard ??? these are the first four lines of the license file . plz help

SERVER newbuddy ID=0019d1495d5d 5280
DAEMON cdslmd
FEATURE 100 cdslmd 16.0 permanent 999 SIGN="092F DBD8 F7BA EC9D 51E5
453C 93A1 D63D 0BC7 3126 8493 2C23 32A9 A98F 8BC0 1BEB 0F0F 5C63

You must also swap the exe file to cdslmd.exe before you update the server to reread the lisence, that why u are getting an error. You do this in step 6.

I did every step and I installed successfully the software, but I have problems when I use it. For example, when I want to do a parametric sweep, the option is not available, the check box is grey and I can't click on it. I did something wrong in the installation process?

this is not a good copy the autorouter is disabled!

This is'nt a good copy, it has autorouter disabled in layout, it only works if downloader worm has infected the computer!

Hey Andreas and Rocket....everyone seems to have this problem, me included, : when applying the update patch the following error appears:"Wrong folder selected"...can I please know what folder to apply the patch and what version of windows you guys have?...thanks in advance

one more thing...when I load the disk image number one, my antivirus (Antivir) recognises splash.exe as being a trojan virus..so I deny its access to the computer....is that why the patch doesnt work?...maybe thats what grpras was talking about...thx

I also had the "Reread Server Failed" issue. The cause for me was the firewall. So make sure you have all firewalls turned off. If you're on Vista, both Windows Firewall and Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" must be turned off.

I have a problem, whuen I start any of the orcad applications the following error appears:

Error (LMF-02097) License call failed for feature "name_of_the application", version 16.000 and quantity one. The license server search path is define as 5280@"name_of_the_computer". The Flexnet error message is as follow, Flexnet ERROR (-97,0,0): The desired vendor daemon is down.

Run 'lic_error LMF-02097' for more information


What can I do to solve this problem? I already did everything rigth but the same message appear and I cannot run any application.

the install is infected

In licence_manager_tool, the status indicate "Reread Server Failed"
I disable the anti-virus and firewall on windows and Norton...
Have you a idea of what wtong with this problem...
Thank for your help.
