hy everyone,
we have a floating license for Libero IDE which has an ACTEL_SUMMIT feature that to my understanding should support the whole project flow, including license for ModelSim AE and Synplify Pro AE (Actel Edition).
I've correctly set up my LM_LICENSE_FILE env. variable and I'm able to get the license to run the Libero IDE (that I do not need much...). But when I try to run the synthesis tool I get an error message:
License for feature synplifypro is not available.
Unable to obtain license host ID.
Now I'm stuck! I've followed the troubleshooting guidelines from Microsemi and I've searched the net for the entire afternoon...
My lmutil provides the following information:
debian@debian:libero_v9.1$ lmutil lmstat -c $LM_LICENSE_FILE lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2010 Flexera Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Flexible License Manager status on Wed 3/19/2014 17:12
License server status: 1702@servicesserver License file(s) on servicesserver: D:\FlexLM\licenses\License_designer_floating_v9.dat:
servicesserver: license server UP (MASTER) v11.9
Vendor daemon status (on servicesserver):
actlmgrd: UP v11.4
At a certain point I tried to change the -licensetype variable for synplify_pro (from command line), but no success with the following: synplifypro_actel, synplifypro_acteloem
There's still an item I haven't checked that just came to my mind, a firewall issue. AFAIK the flexlm handles the various vendor daemons and provide the client with a dynamic port on which to talk. If for some reason my pc cannot talk/listen (I'm not sure which) on that port then it would not work.
I may ask my sysadmin what is the flexlm configuration on the server side, even though I'm not sure she's going to be happy to provide that info! :-/
Any additional ideas?
Al
