You can view which license is
consumed in the run as given below:
$>setenv FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS 3
$> irun
-access +rwc // in this run the screen will display the
license used for the run.
Now if you want to see the
license consumed in the log file as well ,then provide the command as below:
$> irun -access +rwc -uselicense DEFAULT

How do I list which licenses my irun or ncsim
simulation is requesting or consuming
Problem
I need to know which licenses my NC simulation is asking
for or has checked out.
Sometimes I get a NCLICEX or NCLICN or NOMNEM message.
Solution
There are two scenarios to cover: 1) I want this information every time I run, what methods
can I use METHOD A) the user can set the environment variable
FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS UNIX> setenv FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS 3 This will cause license checkout information to echo to
the terminal window as the executable obtains them. If the user will want to
capture that information for later examination, some UNIX screen capture utility
must be used like the script command or use tee to also dump this into a
file. The simulation log will not see any information issued due to the usage
of FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS as that affects the lmgrd/cdslmd interaction and not the
simulator. METHOD B) for the ncsim, irun, hal, or ncverilog
executables another method is simply to launch the simulation with the
-uselicense switch for irun or ncsim. Use it with the argument DEFAULT, then it will not change
any license checkout behavior UNIX> ncsim worklib.mydesign:module -uselicense
DEFAULT OR UNIX> irun < files > <
options> -uselicense DEFAULT -uselicense enables license checkout info to echo to the
logfile and the screen the FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS method only echoes to the
screen. one caveat for METHOD B: -uselicense only echoes what the ncsim or irun,
etc. obtains. E.g., if using HDL code and e code with 29651 IES-XL
licenses, you will see Incisive_Enterprise_Simulator get checked out and
Verilog-XL which authorizes both specman and ncsim to run. IF using 29610 IES-L plus SMN100 Specman Elite licenses,
the checkout of Incisive_Specman_Elite by specman executable will not be shown
by using -uselicense. Specman executable does not report under the -uselicense
option. The FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS method works in all
cases. Sample output Trying to check out
license... Incisive_HDL_Simulator 13.2 -
Failed Incisive_Enterprise_Simulator 13.2 -
Failed Incisive_Enterprise_Verifier 13.2 -
Failed ncsim: *F,NOLICN: Unable to checkout license for the simulation. (flag
- 4) 'lic_error -97'. 2) my simulation is already running and I want to know
what licenses are consumed In this situation the user will need to know the time
the simulation phase of his irun or ncverilog run began since there could be a
lengthy time between start of compile and start of simulation. Start of
simulation is where the licenses are checked out for simulation. The local
log file for the run can be a source for this information. Then view the license log file ( see your system
administrator for this file name) and search for the licenses consumed by the
user on the particular machine where the simulation is being run. A license log file snippet is shown below ..... 10:47:57 (cdslmd) OUT: "Incisive_Design_Team_Simulator"
jhb@inca [Incisive] 10:47:57 (cdslmd) OUT: "VERILOG-XL"

jhb@inca [Incisive] 10:49:23 (cdslmd) OUT: "Incisive_Specman_Elite"
jhb@inca [Incisive] ..... Note that at 10:49:23 user jhb on machine inca checked
out Incisive_Design_Team_Simulator, VERILOG-XL, and Incisive_Specman_Elite
license features. Those entries could represent the exact license features
being consumed by the current simulation job if user jhb had a simulation begin
at 10:49 am ( it is 24 hour time stamp clock All pm hours are 12:01-23:59
)
