Installing the Synthesis Tools Chapter 2: Installation<br />
If you choose to set up your system as a license server, the script creates<br />
a c:\SynLM directory that includes a \driver subdirectory. Refer to Configuring<br />
Windows License Servers, on page 3-6 for further information<br />
about setting up a Windows license server.<br />
When installation is complete, the software creates a directory for the<br />
installed version of the tool or tool suite (for example, \fpga_96, \identify_30,<br />
etc.) in the directory specified for the installation. The default directory<br />
for installation is c:\program files\synplicity. The start menus, desktop icons,<br />
and uninstall names reflect the toolname and an associated version<br />
number, like Certify 9.2.<br />
If you are not upgrading from a previous version of the License Manager<br />
for <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong> tools, you can now set up the license manager and<br />
server as described in Chapter 3, License Configuration. If you are<br />
upgrading, go to the next step.<br />
4. If you are upgrading from a previous version of the License Manager for<br />
<strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong> tools, verify that the obsolete flexlm.cpl file has been<br />
removed.<br />
– Open the control panel (select Start->Settings->Control Panel) and check<br />
for the FLEXlm License Manager. This should have been removed<br />
automatically by the installation. If you find it, delete the obsolete file<br />
manually.<br />
– If it is present, delete the flexlm.cpl file from the<br />
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory and then close and reopen the<br />
Control Panel. If you cannot delete the flexlm.cpl file, reboot the<br />
system and delete the file before opening the Control Panel.<br />
Starting and stopping the license server is now controlled by the<br />
LMTOOLS utility (c:\SynLM\LMTOOLS); see Configuring Windows License<br />
Servers, on page 3-6.<br />
You can now set up the license server as described in Chapter 3, License<br />
Configuration.<br />
