Licensing
Mentor Graphics licensing on Unix platforms
To use ModelSim 5.7 in a Mentor Graphics environment you must be running
MGLS version v4.1_0.0 (or newer) and Packaging Information version v3.0_3.0r
(or newer). You can check your current versions using the following method:
1. Make sure the MGLS_HOME environment variable is set to
<install directory>/modeltech/<platform>/mgls
2. Execute $MGLS_HOME/bin/mgls_admin -v
If you are running a license server with an earlier version, the license server
should be shut down and restarted using the lmgrd and mgcld daemon found in
v4.1_0.0 MGLS. Platform-specific MGLS is included in the ModelSim
installation at <install directory>/modeltech/<platform>/mgls. A download of
v4.1_0.0 MGLS is also available on the ftp site at ftp://ftp.model.com/pub/SE
/mgls_trees/.
In ModelSim versions 5.4 (and later), the MGLS_HOME environment variable is
set in a non-persistent way inside the simulation environment. If MGLS_HOME
is already set, it will be changed temporarily to point at the known good mgls tree
while ModelSim is invoked. MGLS_HOME’s persistent setting will not be
changed.
In ModelSim versions 5.5 (and later), the mgcld daemon is automatically installed
into the binary directory when ModelSim is installed.
Mentor Graphics provides additional licensing information in the Managing
Mentor Graphics Software document. In addition, Model Technology provides
some basic Mentor Graphics licensing files. See the readme file in the
MGLS-related directory at ftp.model.com/pub/SE
for more information.
