[PCB_FORUM] Re: 15.7 on Vista 32...

Austin,

In Vista make sure that you open Command Shell as adminstrator.  Just right
mouse click on the Command Shell Icon and selet "run as adminstrator".  Then
type in "lmhostid -flexid".

If that doesn't work, I recommend you follow these steps.

o update to FLEXlm release 10.8.0.7, perform the following steps:

1. In the Windows Control Panel, use the Add/Remove Programs utility to
uninstall
   the "Cadence License Manager".

    NOTE: If your existing license uses a network adapter card, you can jump

        to Step 4. If your existing license uses a dongle (either black for
a
        parallel port or green for a USB port), continue to Step 2.

2. In the Windows Control Panel, use the Add/Remove Programs utility to
uninstall
   the "Globetrotter FlexID Drivers". (This may require a reboot.)

3. On Disk 1 of the Cadence Product CD set, locate the folder FLEXlm\flexid
and
   run "FLEXidInstaller.exe". Select Flexid8 if you are using the black
parallel
   port dongle or select Flexid9 if you are using the green USB dongle.

    NOTE: Once the driver installation is complete, you will be prompted to
    reboot.    You must reboot the machine before using these drivers.

4. On Disk 1 of the Cadence Product CD set, run  "setup.exe"  from  the
root
   directory. Continue with the full installation of the Cadence License
Manager.

    WARNING: The installer will automatically add the programs in this
    release to the Windows Firewall Exceptions list for Windows XP, Service
    Pack 2, at the end of the installation process. If you do NOT want the
    installer to do this, you must run "setup.exe" from a DOS Command Prompt
    window with the following switch:

    setup.exe -nofirewallexceptions

5. When the license manager installation is complete, continue by installing
the
   Cadence products.

    NOTE: If you are prompted to reboot, reboot the machine and login with
        the administrator privileges login id to successfully complete the
     installation.

6. If you installed Allegro Design Entry HDL, you must install library files

   seperately from the library CD. the library CD is the last CD in the set.


Regards,
