Synopsys FPGA Licensing Guide

Chapter 2: Installation Installing the Synthesis Tools
1. Insert the Synopsys FPGA CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD
automatically mounts to the CD-ROM mount point.
2. After the CD drive mounts (when the CD drive activity LED goes out),
enter the appropriate commands to run the installation script from the
CD.
Linux % cd /mnt/cdrom/synplicity
% ./linux/install.sh (starts the installation script)
Solaris % cd /cdrom/synplicity/solaris
% ./install.sh (starts the installation script)
3. Follow the instructions in the installation script.
The installation script sets up the toolname_version directory in the
location you specified. The toolname is a character string that identifies
the Synopsys FPGA product or tool suite, and version is the software
version of the product. For example, fpga is the toolname used for
Synplify, Synplify Pro, and Synplify Premier, and identify is used for the
Identify RTL Debugger. So the directory is named /fpga_96, /identify_30,
etc. This directory is referred to as the install_dir in the remainder of this
document.
For Solaris installations, the script also installs the platform-specific
FLEXnet utilities in the toolname_vesion/solaris directory.
If you intend to set up your Linux machine as a license server, install the
USB security key (dongle) and USB daemon, setup the license server, and
start the license manager daemon as described in Configuring Linux License
Servers, on page 3-13.
Downloading from the Synopsys Website (Solaris/Linux)
You can use the following procedure to download either evaluation or
standard software from the Synopsys download website.
1. Go to the Synopsys download website
(http://www.solvnet.synopsys.com) and use the plat-form-specific
command to extract the LOtar
file you need.
In the following examples, replace toolversion with the combined tool
name abbreviation or tool suite name and version string.
