Licensing
The licensing of System Designer is for the Mentor Graphics tools. You can use System
Designer without a valid license, however you will not be able to use ModelSim
®

or Co-Verification.
The typical license is based on the hostID of your Network Interface Card (NIC). If you
prefer to use a dongle-based license, it is necessary that you purchase a Security Don-
gle from Atmel (Atmel Part Number: ATDH94DNG).
The instructions below describe the configuration of a NIC-based license. If you request
a dongle-based license, you will receive instructions on how to configure the license with
the dongle. If you wish to use a single license for multiple machines, it is necessary to
purchase a Security Dongle.
3.4.1 Requesting a
System Designer
License
Prior to obtaining a license for System Designer, it is necessary to first install the System
Designer software suite. During installation, System Designer creates the file
LMUTIL.TXT, which is found in the C:\SystemDesigner\ETC directory, assuming a
default installation. The LMUTIL.TXT file contains the hostID of your NIC, and is com-
posed of a combination of twelve alphanumeric characters.
Once you have installed System Designer, proceed to the FPSLIC section of the Atmel
web site and click on the
Request License button, alternatively the direct link for the
license request page is http://www.atmel.com/atmel/products/prod39r.htm.
Note: The Serial Number is located on the white sticker on the underside of the
STK594 board or on the System Designer case.
