FLEXnet v10.8 Licensing Drivers

We encourage you to upgrade your license server software at your earliest convenience. You will need to upgrade your license server to FLEXnet v10.8 to support the new long-format authorisation codes.

In addition, Mentor Graphics applications built with FLEXnet v10.8 will require a license server running FLEXnet v10.8, or newer, in order to be granted an authorisation code. Note that this version is not yet supplied in the installations of all products, so may need to be installed separately.

The process to upgrade your license server software is very similar to the process you have used in the past. The server software upgrade process may be found in TechNote mg66951 on SupportNet.

Dongle (Hardware Key) Drivers

Windows-based applications and license servers built with FLEXnet v10.8 should install newer versions of dongle drivers to successfully recognise Flexid 8- and 9- series dongles. Dongle installation utilities including PCLS Install have been updated to load the newer dongle drivers. If you should experience problems, a solution can be found in TechNote mg66657 on SupportNet.

Download the latest HASP4 USB Dongle Device Driver (9- series, version 4.102) from here - ftp://ftp.ealaddin.com/pub/hasp/new_releases/driver/HASP4_driver_setup.zip

The current Dongle Drivers (6-, 7-, 8-, 9- series) con be obtained from your latest Mentor tool installation (it may first require an uninstall of the previous ones via Windows "Add/Remove Programs")
