Tool/software:
I'm using Pspice for Ti on a virtual machine VMWare Workstation and I'm gettinf this warning periodically. Then I'm not able to simulate anything.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.
Hi Josep,
Let's collect some data before I submit this to Cadence as I've not seen this error before.
Please setup an environment variable as follows:
CDS_LIC_QA_TesT environment variable
The CDS_LIC_QA_TesT environment variable is a testability code that is set on the client system running the Cadence tools. The variable is set for troubleshooting Licensing issues. CDS_LIC_QA_TesT must be set before the invocation of the Cadence tool. The value of this variable is any writable area on your system.
Windows:
Access the Windows button, search for edit environment variables for you account.
New > CDS_LIC_QA_TesT = c:\cadence\qalog.txt
After setting this variable, invoke the tool. If you get a Licensing error, send the qalog.txt file to Customer Support. The qalog.txt file can grow quite large over time. Hence, it is best to unset the variable when your problem is solved.
Note: Do not set this variable in c:\ drive as you may not have write permission there and the file will not get created. Please set it either in c:\cadence or in a different drive like d:\ .
If you can set up a system variable, that's great. In many cases, that's restricted, and you'll have to setup a user variable for your account.
If you're on a MAC, please let me know and I'll get this to Cadence right away.
