There is almost always a vendor deamon required. With an old version of Modelsim (though a Linux version) my license file has lines like: FEATURE hdlcom_c mgcld 2000.100 06-may-2008 0 4C3846162AB9929C7B66 ... The "mgcld" is the Mentor license deamon. However, I do not need to run the license server daemon before running Modelsim. I think it will attempt to run the daemon itself if it can. Also, I notice that what eventually gets run is mgls_asynch, which is what actually handles the license. I am guessing that mgcld runs mgls_asynch. But that is just a guess. Of course, all that is on Linux, but I expect similar behavior on Windows. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
