           EFA Team InnovEDA PowerPCB 5 Beta

This it the license maker and patcher for Innoveda PowerPCB 5.0 Beta !!!

First you must understand that not all HOSTID's are valid !
You have 2 types of licenses:
  Nodelock: are valid for FLEXID 6 or 7 Keys (Teal) or SSI ACT (Pink)
  Floating: must use the Daemon throug FlexLM services and valid hosts are:
            The Ethernet Card Address (NIC) even if its 000000000000 or ffffffff.
            You may check yours by lmtools or ipconfig /all
  
To make a license you use the included PCBCrypt.exe. It will by default, use
PCBLIC.DAT, and will try to make a license on your FLEXID key, real or faked.
To fake or make a license for one choose from:
1- You don't have a dongle! Use FlexID emulator.
2- You have a dongle! Use the right emulator (Pink or Teal)

If you use your Ethernet card to access a DSL modem, you may still use its
address to run PowerPCB, but you must install the MAC Loop. See its ReadME !!!

If you don't specify a Host (option -h) PCBCrypt will try to find your 
FlexID keys 7 or 6, and if fails, you will have to install the flexkey emulator.
PCBCrypt will not find your Pink Key, because it's custom stuff, so if you want 
to use it, or the faked SSI driver, you must enter the host number in command line.

The BEST thing to do is to install a FlexID key and run the software on it.

So, use PCBCrypt as you wish, until you are successfull in making a license.

Remember ALWAYS to set the variables accordingly, to reflect your security scheme.
Point PADS_LIC_FILE_PCB to the license you have made or to YourHost@7508 and run 
the FlexLM service to load the required license file.
You may use LMTools to setup the services or install Security Services from the CD.

(c) 2002 by NaZZedo and PadsPCB

usage: PCBCrypt [licensefile] [-options]

   licensefile is the file to recrypt default is PCBLIC.DAT
   options:
   -i infile   , defines the INPUT file.
   -o outfile  , defines the OUTPUT file.
   -e errfile  , defines the ERROR file otherwise goes to console
   -h HostID   , default is your FlexID 6 or 7 or if none HOSTID=DEMO
                 FULL or DEMO gives HOSTID=DEMO Nodelocked
                 X-YYYYYYYY   gives HOSTID=FLEXID=X-YYYYYYYY
                 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  gives HOSTID=PSI_ACTM=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                 XXXXXXXXXXXX Floating license on Ethercard XXXXXXXXXXXX
   -r RegID    , changes REGID defaults to REGID=12345
   -n          , forces the license to be Nodelocked (Default)
   -f          , forces the license to be FLOATING
   -c          , prints copyright notice.
   -verfmt ver , crypts in other version formats.
                 formats are 2-5, 5.1 ,6 and 7. The default value is 5
   -maxlen n   , limits line length for continuation, -1 for unlimited
   -longkey    , includes generation date in the KEY (default)
   If no arguments, recrypts PCBLIC.DAT.

   Examples:
   PCBCrypt -o TEST.DAT             ; Crypts PCBLIC.DAT to TEST.DAT
   PCBCrypt License.dat -maxlen -1  ; Crypts License.dat no warp lines

   Host examples:
   PCBCrypt -h FULL             ; Nodelocked HOSTID=DEMO
   PCBCrypt -h X                ; Nodelocked HOSTID=DEMO
   PCBCrypt -h 6-12345678       ; Nodelocked HOSTID=FLEXID=6-12345678
   PCBCrypt -h 1234123412341234 ; Nodelocked HOSTID=PSI_ACTM=1234123412341234
   PCBCrypt -h ffffffff         ; Floating NIC=ffffffff (works fine also)
