Explanation on license and other issues causing some functions of the software to be unavailable

Preface

Explanation on the problem that emulators such as ADE Explorer cannot be used

During simulation, the ADE Explorer module suddenly became unavailable, and a warning appeared on the CIW interface when opening it:

Could not get the license for assembler.Open aborted.

In fact, you need corresponding features, or licenses. The assembler has a special license. You need to check if there is a relevant code license section in license.dat. If not, you need to create one again.

Many modules of Cadence software cannot be used because of this, so just add the license file or code.

method one:

You can refer to this article. The author explains the relevant code annotations about license, which is equivalent to an expansion of knowledge:

Cadence software combination packages install the required tools according to task requirements. Focus on license-related issues - Discussion on the use of EDA resources - EETOP Chuangxin.com Forum (original name: Electronic Top Development Network) -

To sum up, you need to add a code snippet of this style to the license file:

FEATURE feature_name cdslmd 1000.000 permanent uncounted HOSTID=ANY SIGN2=Signature password

Method Two:

Directly copy and paste a license.dat file that can open the ADE Explorer emulator into the folder where the license is stored in the IC folder or copy the relevant code and save it to solve the problem. (Personal test and it works!!!)

It is recommended not to copy partial code. You need to know the complete code usage section before copying, and be sure to keep a backup.
