Before you begin installing Mentor software, you should obtain and install your licenses and configure your licensing environment. This facilitates the product installation process because MIP automatically makes product selections based on licenses available in your environment and products you installed previously. For information on installing and managing Mentor Licensing, refer to the Mentor Standard Licensing Manual (mgc_licen.pdf).
Contact your local Mentor sales office to order software licenses. The sales office can provide information about the number of node-locked and floating licenses your company purchased and any current license server configurations you may have.
You must provide the sales office with the following information:
Any new license server configuration
The host ID numbers of client and license server workstations for node-locked licenses
The host ID number of the license server workstation for all floating licenses
