APS

Good day!

I want to use the new feature of Virtuoso, the Accelerated Parallel
Simulator.

But I encountered error with the following conditions:

I have a spectre license Virtuoso(R) Spectre(R) Circuit Simulator
"32500".
Then I execute my runSimulation script to run the simulation.
runSimulation contains the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
spectre +lqt +lqs 5 -error artist5.1.0 +escchars=log .../psf/
spectre.out -format psfbin -raw ../psf -mt +aps -E -cols 80 input.scs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the spectre.out gives the following information:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting for available license for Virtuoso(R) spectre.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I have tried to directly execute 'aps' command in my terminal

aps -mt input.scs

there is an error "Fatal error found by aps. FATAL (APS-208): You do
not have permission to run Virtuoso(R) APS.

Hope anyone could help me regarding this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Have a nice day!

You cannot run APS with a spectre license (that's not even the current spectre
product license). That's why it says you you don't have permission...

Please contact your local sales or support centre to see if it's possible to get
an upgrade of the product under whatever contract you have.

Best Regards,
