Libero IDE License Options
You must have a license installed to run Libero IDE. Several license options are offered. The license defines the available features and FPGA devices, the license expiration date, and maximum version of the software that can be used with the license.
View the tool and device support for the various licenses at http://www.actel.com/products/software/libero/licensing.aspx
Two license types are offered, node-locked or floating.
A node-locked license is locked to a specific hard disk ID or movable USB hardware key dongles. USB dongles with the accompanying license file allow the software to operate on any PC to which the dongle is attached and the license file and software are installed. Node-locked license installation is covered in “Installing Licenses” on page 19.
A floating license is typically installed on a network server (Windows or Linux) and allows networked client PCs to access the license from the server. The Client PCs can be Windows or RedHat Linux. Actel software is not available for Solaris Operating Systems. Client seats can be purchased to allow up to 999 users to run the Libero IDE software simultaneously.
Libero IDE license manager and vendor daemons for all supported platforms for the network server are available at http://www.actel.com/products/software/libero/licensing.aspx.
Floating license installation is covered in “Installing Licenses” on page 19.
