problem with hspice license

[Yien Zheng]

When trying to run hspice, I am informed the license expired 10/18/97
(yesterday). Is anybody else having problems running hspice?

Here's my .lis file:

Try using the hspice in /share/b/bin/hspice

It seems to work. However, I can't seem to get a license of gsi or mwave
to work.

I just got a message from Root. Very Depressing. The cool graphical
interface we knew as GSI is dying.... Instruction isn't going to renew
it's license with them. Currently GSI will only work on the EC Alphas
in 199 cuz they can get the licenses from the research license server
(Nexus). But when I tried to start up GSI in one of those machines, the
license server wasn't activated and I was denied a local license. Seems like
we're going to be stuck using "mwaves." Might as well get use to mwaves
cuz the research licenses are expiring in Dec 97. So next semester we
HAVE to use mwaves.

All this information about the licensing stuff is at : /usr/pub/hspice.help
