重装Cadence16.3，失败与成功

重装Cadence16.3，失败与成功

以前电脑上装过Cadence16.3，用了一两年，不知怎么，最近不好用，总是License was not found，让我用demo版本，恼火，重新装了好多遍，搞了好多天，今天早上终于搞定了，记录之。
这几天，从网上搜了各种方法，也尝试了各种方法，就是不成功，昨天晚上回家，在自己的电脑（没有装过Cadence）上尝试了下，方法一样，但是成功了。
昨晚安装时，是按照下面的步骤安装的：

1. Run Setup.exe, install the license manager. Cancle the dialogue blox “lincense location”.

2. Overwrite file cdslmd.exe in the installation folder of the license manager

3. (This step seems to be not necessary!) Create an environment variable with the value CDS_LIC_FILE 5280@this_host. “this_host” replaced with the name of your machine (My computer-> properties-> advanced-> enviromnent variables)
   这一步，我直接没做，之后电脑会自己生成环境变量！

4. Edit the first line in the file license163.lic - replace this_host to the real name of your computer
5. Run LicenseServerConfiguration.exe in the folder: license manager ( \ LicenseManager)
6. In the Select license, select the edited file license163.lic
7. Click Next
8. In the Port number edit check the value 5280
9. In the editing window Host Name check your machine’s hostname (computer name)
10. Click Next
11. Click Next again

12. Click Finish
    LicenseServerConfiguration.exe 完成时，显示Unable to start…*…*，我以为又安装不成功呢，不管了，装完了再说
    In the license manager folder, the license file license.dat will be generated. Open it and check lines 2. It should look like:
    DAEMON cdslmd C:\Cadence\LicenseManager\cdslmd.exe
    If not (sometime it is broken into several lines), correct it.

13. Run Programs/Cadense/License Manager/LmTools
    On the register card “Start/stop/reread”, run “Reread license file”.
    Exit LmTools
    这一步很关键，必须要做。
    然后重启电脑。

14. Install Cadence SPB / OrCAD 16.3 (Product installation)

15. Copy the files from the folder … \ Aspirin \ patch in the installation directory (where the folder SPB_16.3 is. Don’t enter this folder!)

16. Start RunMe!.Bat
    右键属性，把Runme!.bat改为Windows XP 兼容，然后开始->运行-> cmd ->cd:\C:\Cadence-> Runme!.bat，这样可以清晰的看到Runme!.bat的执行结果，有效的话会显示100 changed! done!

17. Wait
18. Enjoy the Cadence SPB / OrCAD 16.3

今天早上来到办公室，办公室的电脑昨天已经装好Cadence，但是没有破解成功，心想再尝试下，做了下面两步：
1.Start RunMe!.Bat
右键属性，把Runme!.bat改为Windows XP 兼容，然后开始->运行-> cmd ->cd:\C:\Cadence-> Runme!.bat，这样可以清晰的看到Runme!.bat的执行结果，有效的话会显示100 changed! done!

2.Run Programs/Cadense/License Manager/LmTools
On the register card “Start/stop/reread”, run “Reread license file”.
Exit LmTools
然后居然成功了，Cadence可以正常使用了，不再显示什么License not found。
最后看了下，电脑的环境变量，如下：

最后，在安装的过程中，按照网上的说法，
我关掉了防火墙，
甚至关掉了网络连接，
还有一点，要用Administrator账号进行安装操作！
