Verifying a Workstation Can Check Out a License

The pcls_ok application tests license checkout on computers running the Windows operating system. This verification method works with both floating and Mobile Compute licenses.

Procedure

Invoke pcls_ok from the Start menu or by double-clicking on one of the following:
- Click the Start menu > Mentor Graphics Licensing > pcls_ok menu item.
- Click the Start menu > PADS VX.2.6 (32-bit) > pcls_ok menu item.
If you do not find it in either of these places or in the C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\ folder, search C:\MentorGraphics\ for the file name pcls_ok.exe since some Mentor tools also store this executable inside the software tree.
Test checkout of a specific license by typing the license name pwrshell into the Feature box and click the Apply button.
Tip
You can identify license names by looking in the license file. The field to the right of the word INCREMENT is the license name.

A success or failure message is displayed. If you receive a success message, it indicates you can check out licenses successfully from that workstation. If you receive a failure message, click [>>>Details] for more information. In the event of a failure message, contact Customer Support or your local sales office for assistance.
