#  1. Please   replace  "Cadence_SERVER"  with  hostname  of your machine
#     in line   "SERVER Cadence_SERVER  &lt;hostid&gt; 5280".
#  2. Please replace the relative path(  eg. ./cdslmd   ) to absolute path
#     in the DAEMON line(s).
#  3. Cadence now ships a complete license file for each server, so combining
#     license files with a VENDOR_STRING value other than DEMO is no longer
#     permitted.  Please contact your field administrator if you believe that
#     product licenses are missing from this file.
#  4. Some  e-mail utilities ( commonly on PC or  Macintosh  systems ) may
#     modify the text of an e-mailed license file,   changes such as  word
#     or line wrapping or  subdivision into  multiple sections,  when they
#     receive or forward this file.  The resulting keys will be unreadable
#     by the software security.To avoid this, these changes must be undone
#     or the e-mail utility options disabled.

## No products are eligible for license generation.

  • Apparently, many users are facing this issue — I’ve seen several forum posts about the license problem. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do from our side. It’s up to TI and Cadence to resolve it. It’s been days now... no official response from TI tho.

  • Hi Arvind,

    This license file does not contain any license. 

    Please try running PSpice for TI again. The service has been restored.

    Thanks,
    JC

  • PSpice/Capture now runs again. However, my setup had to be restored as it had been "scrambled" by some sort of breakdown. E.g. my latest simulation file was not correct anymore!

    Best regards

    (have used Cadence products in my professional life since Orcad version 2 - that I imported myself to Denmark. As an independant consultant now I cannot afford the Cadence package and am very happy that PSpice for TI now exists :-)   )

  • Hi,

    Thanks for the Update.

    Now everything works, but had to reinstall the whole PSpice, all good!
