Q: How can I run older Star-Hspice versions without having to source the " cshrc.meta " file of the older version?
A: You have to edit the "versions" file in the latest version of Star-Hspice, e.g., ..installdir../99.2/bin/versions , and include the paths of the older versions in the "versions" file. Once that is set, simply type:
at the command line. After you enter the input and output file names, you are prompted for a version to run. Select the number (1,2,3...etc) that represents the version you would like to run.
On PC's, modify the " ...installdir\99.2\versions " file in the same manner and then you can select the version you would like to run by modifying the last line on the HSPUI window.

Q: How can I reserve licenses for a particular user, group, or host?
A: Flexlm allows you to reserve licenses using a configuration file. The configuration file is a plain ASCII file containing comments and statements. Lines starting with a # are considered comments. You may create groups of users using the statement:
GROUP <groupname> <user> [...]
You may reserve a specific license to either a user, a group, a host or a display using one of:
RESERVE <num_to_reserve> <feature> USER <username>
RESERVE <num_to_reserve> <feature> GROUP <groupname>
RESERVE <num_to_reserve> <feature> HOST <hostname>
RESERVE <num_to_reserve> <feature> DISPLAY <displayname>
Reserving a license for a specific HOST does not prevent users from setting their DISPLAY environment variable to their local DISPLAY and running the tool. In fact, reserving a license for a HOST is very similar to using a node-locked license.
Reserving a license for a DISPLAY ensures that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to what you have specified.
