During installation you will be asked to choose a Sentinel driver for your
specific FLEXid security key. The number on your FLEXid security key
(something like 7-xxxxxxxx, or 8-xxxxxxxx) relates to the driver you will
select.

Copy
license.dat
(the license file you received by email when you
purchased Model
Sim
) to
C:\modelsim\win32\license.dat
, or to your
specific Model
Sim
pathname if different. Pasting the text from the email
into the
license.dat
file is the safest way to create a valid license file.
See "A license.dat file example" (p29) for details on the structure of a
license file.
4
Verify your hostname (the server’s computer name) via the Windows
Control Panel with either FLEXlm > Advanced > Diagnostics, or with
Network > Identification.
5
Edit the
license.dat
file and make the following changes:
• Replace "hostname" with the server computer name.
• Change the "1650" port value only if this port is already used. If
uncertain, do not change.
• Change the DAEMON path to correspond with the full pathname of
the modeltech daemon. For example,
DAEMON modeltech C:\modelsim\win32\modeltech
6
Set the environment variable for LM_LICENSE_FILE.
• For
Windows NT
go to Control Panel > System > Environment and
add LM_LICENSE_FILE with an initial value of 1650@MYPC,
where MYPC is the hostname.
• For
Windows 95/98
edit the
autoexec.bat
and add the following line:
set LM_LICENSE_FILE=1650@MYPC
where MYPC is your hostname.
Note that the changes made to your
license.dat
file are reflected in the port#
(1650) and the hostname (MYPC) that you set for LM_LICENSE_FILE.
Note:
If the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable is already defined, you can add
a second value by separating the two values with a semi-colon ( ; ). For
example: LM_LICENSE_FILE=1650@MYPC;c:\renoir\license.dat

For Windows 95/98, reboot your machine; no reboot is needed for NT.
