The License Client Configuration Utility
The License Client Configuration Utility (Start – Cadence – License Manager – License
Client Configuration Utility) lets you change the setting of your CDS_LIC_FILE variable to
point to a different or an additional license server. After remote client product installations,
either interactive or unattended, you must use the License Client Configuration Utility to set
up the client machine to find the license server.
To Use the License Client Configuration Utility
1. From the Start menu, choose All Programs – Cadence – License Manager –
License Client Configuration Utility.
The License Path dialog box appears.
2. Specify the port and hostname of the license server(s) you want to use, and then click
Next.
Note: You can use semicolon to specify multiple license servers, such as
port1@host1;port1@host2. You can also specify a fault tolerant or triad license
server; use the comma to separate the hosts, such as
port1@host1,port1@host2,port1@host3.
