- Recently, i was given this article:
-
- Hi. I have a large software application installed on my
- system from Cadence Design Systems. It is a IC design tool
- and all documentation is online in Frame format.
- The problem is I have been unable to use Frame Viewer from
- outside the Cadence tool framework.
- My questions:
- Is Frame Viewer licensed? Where is the license file?
- >>Is it possible to use viewer as I wish? What's the trick?

- Here is someones response:
-
- >To the best of my knowledge, it is contractually unacceptable for CDS
- >licensees to use the FrameViewer distributed by Cadence to do anything
- >other than view Cadence online documentation. Since you obviously have
- >Maker licenses (as indicated in your post), why not just use Maker and
- >lock your documents (it will seems as though you're using Viewer)?

- Now my response:
-
- I am still confused. If I have 20 FrameMaker and 10 FrameView
- licenses, and I have 10 FrameView/Cadence from Cadence. When you run
- Frame the path set by FMHOME is where the license is found. So, you either
- use all FrameView/Cadence or all the other, but you can not add or
- combine. I guess a script would have to be set to start Cadence setting
- the FMHOME for the session. THIS SUCKS.
-
- Please correct me if I am wrong in my thinking.

- Thanks, Kim Butler
