How Licensing Works Following are details on how SmartModel licenses work e Per Model Licenses License tokens are consumed on a per model basis not a per instance basis Multiple instances of a specific model in a single simulation consume only one license token Each simulation session requires license tokens for the models in that simulation If you run multiple simulations concurrently each simulation consumes one or more license tokens e License Requires Live Server Connection The licensing software maintains a connection with the license server If the connection is broken the license is revoked April 2001 Synopsys Inc 19 Chapter 3 Network Licensing for SmartModels SmartModel Library Installation Guide 20 Licenses Are Release Independent SmartModel license feature lines do not use the feature version field This means that new licenses are not required to license new releases of the SmartModel software Merged Licenses Supported on Same Server SmartModel licenses may be merged with other FLEXIm features However all feature lines must have been generated for the same license server Expiration at Midnight Licenses expire at midnight of the expiration date given in the feature line License Usage Algorithm When a model is loaded by the simulator it needs to obtain a valid license token before it can run Either a DesignWare license feature or one of the legacy SIMMODEL based license features will authoriz
