How can i solve this problem...pl reply soon..
Thank you,

The cadence virstuso IC 6.1 comes with 3 license options L (basic), XL ( a kind of medium version) and GXL ( all options available).
Whenever u r running the software by default it will search for L licence... Since it doesnt find it it looks for higher licences...

Check whether ur licenses are installed properly.. check the cshrc file...

Also try "fb" instead of "icfb"

 

[R00KIE]

I get that warning/error too, but it just searches for a higher tiered license and uses it, nothing to worry about I guess, you can also tell it not to bother you again and automatically try to use a higher tiered license anyway.

For IC6 you should call it as virtuoso not icfb (or anything else that you used to call IC5), there is a warning about that when you call it with icfb, I guess that later releases will not have the link icfb->virtuoso so better start getting used to call virtuoso

 

[oermens]

as long as you have a higher tier license you shouldn't be getting this error. try adding this to your .cdsenv and see if it still asks each time to go for higher tier license:

designEditor.license appsWhichAlwaysTryHigherTieredLicense string "ADE L,Layout L,Schematics L,"

as R00KIE mentioned, use virtuoso to start ic6x

 

[VINAY_RAO]

i used virtuoso only,,and i run with only .cshrc file where i wasnt having any .cdenv or .cdinit file.Even after running,in current working directory its nt storing default .cdenv files,even i checked whether it is hidden,but its not hidden..
how can i check in .cdenv file??

Hi Vinay,
I have run the license first before open 'icfb&' ? follow this step.

1. type 'lmli' in terminal , then
2. type 'icfb' in terminal

see you get the same error?
