Synopsys FPGA Licensing Guide

Configuring Windows License Servers Chapter 3: License Configuration
– If you want this to be a standalone server with only the license
manager software, disable the software tool box option during the
installation process.
– Attach the FLEXid hardware security key to the parallel port or USB
connector, as appropriate. See Installing Windows Security Keys, on
page 2-16.
– Install the FLEXid driver. See Installing the Windows FLEXid Driver,
on page 2-18.
2. Set up the license file.
– Go to the c:\SynLM directory and create a license.dat file.
– Locate your licensing information. For purchased licenses, use the
dongle and license sent with the software. For evaluation licenses,
obtain a license as described in Configuring Evaluation Licenses, on
page 1-6.
– Cut and paste the licensing information you received into the
license.dat file.
– Edit the file and make the following changes:
• Replace [server] with the name of the machine that will act as
the server. Do not include the brackets.
• Make sure that the path to the synplctyd license daemon
(path_to_synplctyd) is correct. It should be C:\SynLM\synplctyd.exe.
• Replace the TCP number at the end of the SERVER line with a port
number that is not in use. If you are not sure of the port number,
use the default value, which is usually 1709.
The following example shows an edited license file for a server named
genie. The backslash at the end of some FEATURE lines is a line-continuation
character which indicates that the entry is continued on a second
line without a line break.
