installation of cadence

pl tell me what does cds like ic50, ldv 33 and se54 represent in
cadence installation. how is the licensing done?

An example of IC50 would be the Cadence custom IC EDA tool suite.
One executable would be 'icfb' (IC front to back).
Another executable is 'icms' (IC mixed signal).
Yet another (of hundreds of executables) is 'layout' (guess what that is)?

An example of LDV33 would be the Verilog and native compiled Verilog simulators.
One executable would be 'verilog' & another 'ncsim'.

An example of the SE54 would be the Silicon Ensemble place & routing tools.
One executable would be 'sedsm' (Silicon Ensemble deep sub micron).

Licensing is simple. You pay money. You get a license. You don't pay money.
You have to ask dumb questions.
