However the present implementation makes synplify light not see the flexlm test license. Do you have DSL? Can you download about 200 MByte? Registration is required, but I guess http://www.quicklogic.com/images/QuickWorks953.exe should work too. Installation has to be done with native Ole and friends, the installed pasic/spde directory has to be added to the path. Run in desktop mode or expect messageboxes hidden under images. The installation leave a 3 day test license in pasic/spde/license.dat. Start spde.exe. It should report the 3 day test license. If missing path is mentioned, correct it. File->Import->synplicity Project Select e.g. ../pasic/Exemplar/reference/pci5232_208/vhdl/pci5232_208.prj and okay. Synplify starts, but brings up "Introduction" with a message "Sorry, no Synplify license is available". The start wrapper calculates some magic string from the time. Then TZ is set to GMT0 and another process is started with this magic string as parameter. If you change the TimeGetBias() function as mentioned, synplify starts with the grace license.
