PSPICE-FOR-TI: PSpice stuck at library download

Part Number: PSPICE-FOR-TI

Tool/software:

Hello, I try to install PSpice-For-TI on WINE on MacOS, but I got stuck at library download screen for ever. It seems there is network issue between my machine and pcb.cadence.com. I run WireShark monitor and see the TLS handshake failed for unknown reason.

  • cdsPSpiceNetworkStatus.txt:

    The PSpice for TI installer accesses the internet to download and install various packages. Before starting the installer, ensure the following:
    1. Internet connection is available
    2. Security protocol TLS 1.2 is enabled
    3. Following endpoints or resource locations are accessible from the system:
    a. pcb.cadence.com/startPages
    b. software-dl.ti.com/pspice
    c. cdsplicwc.cadence.com/chws
    If proxy credentials are required to access the Internet, provide the same when requested by the installer.

    11:46:09 am Friday, 19 July 2024 : Internet Connection : Available (Passed)
    11:46:09 am Friday, 19 July 2024 : Security Protocol TLS 1.2: Available. If PSpice for TI installation fails, unblock TLS 1.2
    11:46:14 am Friday, 19 July 2024 : Proxy Test : Proxy Credentials not needed

  • Hi Mia,

    Please check with your IT department if TLS1.2 is blocked.

  • I might find something weird in the log, it seems the application can't find an active network card.

  • Hi Mia,

    would you please send me the entire file via a PM?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Mia,

    Have you send me the log file? From what you posted above, it could be that the hardware information isn't retrieved. This is necessary for PSpice for TI to identify the unique machine (maximum of 3 machines can be used concurrently). If this is a VM, you may need to enable BIOS information passthrough.
