Hi

Upon checking, as per logs, it is throwing below error message i.e. license codes are generated for one host ID and license file being used in another HOSTID.

FlexNet Error

Error Number: -8

Error Message: Invalid (inconsistent) license key.

Server: C:\FLEXLM\license.dat

Feature: alteramtivsim

Could you confirm whether customers run the tool on same HOST or different HOST when they upgrade to 20.4?

If it is on different HOST when running 20.4, then could you try 20.4 version on same HOST where 2019.4 is working fine as it looks licenses are generated on 2019.4 HOST ID.

Lastly, is it possible to run the 2019.4 tool with same MGLS_DEBUG_LOG_DIR settings and provide the logs please?

Thank you very much.

    Hi.

    Both versions of the simulator - 19.4 and 20.4 - run on the same HOST computer.

    Attached both log files.

    Thanks,

      Hi

      Thank you for sending the MGLS_DEBUG_LOG_DIR logs of 2019.4 version.Can you please download latest licensing software from below link and install it.

      https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/product/905395197/downloads

      Default it installs into c:\MentorGraphics\Licensing folder.

      In Command Prompt go to c:\mentorgraphics\licensing folder, and then run the command “mgls_ok.exe alteramtivsim “ command to check whether it is checking out licenses or not.

      Attach is the screen shot for command execution.

      Could you help to test “mgls_ok.exe alteramtivsim”?

      Thank you very much.
