Time License Settings

Use time license settings to apply an expiration date beyond which a model can not be used in simulations. You can remove the date stamp from new and editable models. Apply time license settings to VHDL-AMS, SML, and SPICE models, and to VHDL-AMS packages from within their respective editors.

To add time license information:

1. Select model_or_package Editor > License Settings. The License Information dialog box appears.

2. Select the Enable Time License settings check box. Enter the license expiration date into the Date field.

   You can also click the down-arrow button to the right of the date field to reveal a pop-up calendar.

   When the desired calendar page is displayed, click the day of the month to transfer the date selection to the Date field in the License Information dialog box.

3. Click OK to confirm the date entry and close the dialog box. The Encryption Settings dialog box appears.

4. Encrypt or encode the model or package using the applicable procedure:

• Encrypting or Encoding a VHDL-AMS Model
• Encrypting or Encoding an SML, or SPICE Model
• Encrypting or Encoding a VHDL-AMS Package
• Recompiling, Encoding, and Licensing Libraries

To remove the time license from a model:

1. With the model from which you intend to remove time licensing open in the model editor, click model_or_package Editor > Time License. The License Information dialog box appears.

2. Deselect Enable Time Licensing settings.
3. Click OK to remove the settings, then save the model.
