Aldec ActiveHDL licensing, like most CAD tools, uses Flexera FLEXLM to control the number of users simultaneously using the ActiveHDL simulation tools. The FLEXLM licenses provided for a Solaris based computer are generated based on the Solaris systems unique hostid. Licenses generated for Microsoft Windows, or for a Linux operating system based computer are created against a USB dongle.
Migrating away from a Solaris FLEXLM license to a Windows or Linux license server requires you to take a few steps:
- Acquire a FLEXLM USB dongle
- Acquire a new license.dat file tied to the ID code printed on the USB dongle
- Installation of the Flexera Sentinel USB dongle driver.
If you are migrating away from a Solaris license server to one on another supported operating system and you do not already have a Flexera USB dongle, please contact your local Lattice Semiconductor sales office and they can assist you in the relicensing process.
