Modify the License Files
Your licenses will be emailed to you. Under normal circumstances, you can expect these
within 1 business day. You will receive 2 files, synplify.lic and ace.lic . Node locked licenses
do not need editing/modifications. Floating licenses need to have the hostname of the license
server and path to license daemon added, per the instructions below.
Floating
– Linux
synplify.lic
SERVER hostname1 0123456789ab 27000
VENDOR snpslmd /path/to/snpslmd
Please:
1) Replace ‘hostname1’ with your license server host name
2) Update snpslmd /path/to/snpslmd with the absolute path to this file (keep the final snpslmd
with no / at the end)
ace.lic
HOST 001b2198a964 1710
ISV achronix /bin/achronix_license_agent
Please:
1) Replace ‘’ with your license server host name
2) Update ‘’ with the absolute path to the /bin directory containing the
achronix_license_agent file
Floating
– Windows
Floating Windows modifications are very similar to Floating Linux modifications. The paths
will need to be modified to backslash (i.e. ‘\’) and the .exe will need to be added to the
daemon files. (i.e. achronix_license_agent.exe and snpslmd.exe)
synplify.lic
SERVER hostname1 0123456789ab 27000
VENDOR snpslmd /path/to/snpslmd
Please:
1) Replace ‘hostname1’ with your license server host name
2) Replace snpslmd /path/to/snpslmd with the absolute path to this file i.e.
C:\Synopsys\Synplify_Pro\License\snpslmd.exe
