    HOW TO GET AND INSTALL A QUESTASIM 10.2c RELEASE
    ===================================================

    *** IMPORTANT LICENSING CHANGE ***


    *** IMPORTANT LICENSING CHANGE ***
    *** IMPORTANT LICENSING CHANGE ***

    Release 10.2 uses FLEXnet v11.10. The vendor daemons and lmgrd
    that are shipped with this release will be FLEXnet version 11.10.
    For floating licenses it will be necessary to verify that the
    vendor daemon (i.e., mgcld) and the license server (i.e., lmgrd)
    have FLEXnet versions equal to or greater than 11.10. If the
    current FLEXnet version of your vendor daemon and lmgrd are less
    than 11.10 then it will be necessary to stop your license server
    and restart it using the vendor daemon and lmgrd contained in this
    release.
    If you use node locked licenses you don't need to do anything. This
    release will update licensing to MSL v2012_2patch1 with MGLS v9.7_2.3
    and PCLS v9.7.2.4.

    PCLS has a new version format to better track with the associated
    MGLS version.

    In summary, this release uses the following license versions:


    + FLEXnet v11.10
    + MSL v2012_2patch1
    + MGLS v9.7_2.3
    + PCLS v9.7.2.4

    DOWNLOAD/INSTALL NOTE:
    When downloading UNIX executables with the ".mis" file extension on a Windows box,
    please make sure that the "Save As Type"  is set to "All Files".
    This is important in order to preserve the ".mis" extension. Otherwise Windows may
    append the ".mis" extension with an additional extension which will cause problems
    with your installation.

    Never overlay a new Questa Sim release over the top of an old release.
    Either remove the old release first or install the new release to a
    different location. For win32 installations always use uninstall to

    registry entry. For Unix or Linux installations you can simply delete

    1) Install Release

    -- For Unix or Linux --


    A complete release contains the install file, the base install file, the platform
    specific install file(s) for your machine type(s) and the documentation install
    file.

    The installer file, the base install file, the documentation install file and all
    platform specific install files need to be downloaded to the same directory
    location.

    Execute the Installer file (install.<platform>) specific to the platform you are
    installing from to begin the installation process.

    If you are installing from a x86 or x86_64 desktop running Linux, use install.linux

    Use the MSI interface to install the tool to the locations required. The MSI
    interface provides documentation by selecting the Help button at the top of the
    window.

    Add the Questa Sim executables directory to your PATH environment variable:

    PATH=<install_path>/<platform>

    where <platform> can be linux, or linux_x86_64.

    -- For Windows --

    Never do multiple Windows installs into the same target folder/directory.


    Always use a new folder/directory as the target for each Windows install.

    win32:
    questasim-win32-10.2c.exe Double click the file to install Questa Sim
    win64:
    questasim-win64-10.2c.exe Double click the file to install Questa Sim

    into this <install_path questasim> folder.

    docs files and the platform specific executables. For SystemC, it should also
    contain gcc executables.
