1. Install the license manager (License Manager) and program (Cadence SPB 16.5).

Ignore and click next when a windows pops up asking for license file.

2. Copy the files in aspirinCadenceLicenseManager (i.e. pubkey.exe, pubkey,

LicenseManager.cmd) to installed directory (e.g. C:CadenceLicenseManager). Run the
LicenseManager.cmd.

3. Copy the files in aspirinCadenceSPB_16.5tools (i.e. pubkey.exe, pubkey,

Tools.cmd) to installed directory (C:CadenceSPB_16.5tools). Run the Tools.cmd. The
script may take up to several minutes to run.

4. Go to aspirinCadenceLicGen folder. Open the src.lic with a text editor (e.g.

notepad). Change the "this-host" to your computer hostname, which can be identified
using the following method "Start -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig /all". Once
done and saved, run the LicGen.cmd and a "license.lic" is created.

5. Open the License Server Configuration Utility (Start -> Programs ->
Cadence -> License Manager -> License Server Configuration Utility). Locate
the license.lic generated in Step-4 above.

6. Add a user environment variable (Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables)
variable name : CDS_LIC_FILE
variable value : C:CadenceLicenseManagerlicense.dat

7. The installation as aforementioned was done on a Windows XP Pro SP3 (plus McAfee
with latest antivirus definition update on 16 July 2011).

8. Done and Enjoy!
