Cadence

Having difficulties checking out a license for Cadence/Virtuoso?

There are between 1000-3000 licenses for each Cadence tool. The issue may not be that licenses have all been checked out. There are some issues with some of the other tools - but not Cadence.

The issue could be caused by all the lock file options that have been used up.

Note:  DO NOT 'X' out of a Cadence session. Use the File->Dropdown menu to quit a session

To fix it once all the locks are used:

find . -type f | grep cdslck

and delete everything it lists.
