that you can automate instead of sourcing the license every time ?

This is a very basic Linux tip and specifically for ASU students. I have seen a lot of people log into the linux servers and then do :

$> cd cadence5

$> source /usr/local/../ncsu.cshrc

An easier way to go about this is to create a file called .cshrc in your home directory (~ character indicates home dir, or if you type ‘cd’ and enter, that will take you to your home directory). Execute the following commands in the linux prompt.

$> echo “cd cadence5” > ~/.cshrc

$> echo “source <license_path> ” >> ~/.cshrc

Now, you can directly start icfb and skip the above two commands after the xterm/terminal comes up.
