Orcad 16 full By 1mm] 1. Install the license manager (License Manager) and program (Cadence SPB 16.5).
Ignore and click next when a windows pops up asking for license file. 2. Copy the files in aspirinCadenceLicenseManager (i.e. pubkey.exe, pubkey, LicenseManager.cmd) to installed directory (e.g. C:CadenceLicenseManager). Run the LicenseManager.cmd. 3. Copy the files in aspirinCadenceSPB_16.5tools (i.e. pubkey.exe, pubkey, Tools.cmd) to installed directory (C:CadenceSPB_16.5tools). Run the Tools.cmd. The script may take up to several minutes to run. 4. Go to aspirinCadenceLicGen folder. Open the src.lic with a text editor (e.g. notepad). Change the "this-host" to your computer hostname, which can be identified using the following method "Start -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig /all". Once done and saved, run the LicGen.cmd and a "license.lic" is created. 5. Open the License Server Configuration Utility (Start -> Programs -> Cadence -> License Manager -> License Server Configuration Utility). Locate the license.lic generated in Step-4 above. 6. Add a user environment variable (Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables) variable name : CDS_LIC_FILE variable value : C:CadenceLicenseManagerlicense.dat 7. The installation as aforementioned was done on a Windows XP Pro SP3 (plus McAfee with latest antivirus definition update on 16 July 2011). 8. Done and Enjoy! ################################################################# http://www.sonsivri.to/forum/index.php?topic=38575.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How to apply SPB 16.5.0028 hotfix Do not apply Hotfix directly over installed directory(c:CadenceSPB_16.5) SPB will go wrong completely and it would never be restored without reinstall. 1.Stop licence manager(go to Start -> Programs -> Cadence -> License Manager ->LmTools and click on the "Stop server" button in the Start/Stop/Reread tab) and Stop process cdsNameServer.exe, if it exists (point to cdsnameserver.exe click "end process" button in Windows Task Manager[ctrl+alt+del]) 2.Rename installed directory (c:CadenceSPB_16.5) to any name(ex.c:CadenceSPB_16.5_temp) 3.Create a new directory (c:CadenceSPB_16.5) 4.Copy compnts.dat file (c:Cadence SPB_16.5_tempcompnts.dat) to installed directory (c:CadenceSPB_16.5_temp) 5.Run a Hotfix(Hotfix_SPB16.50.028_wint_1of1.exe) 6.after hotfix is completed,Copy 3 files (pubkey, pubkey.exe, Tools.cmd)from c:CadenceSPB_16.5_temptools to directory of c:CadenceSPB_16.5_temptools 7.Run "Tools.cmd" on the directory of installed hotfix c:CadenceSPB_16.5tools 8.Transfer the whole contents in the c:CadenceSPB_16.5 to c:CadenceSPB_16.5_temp Page 1
