2 Floating License Daemon Support

Microchip now supports 64-bit floating licensing daemons with FlexLM v11.19 for Libero SoC Design Suite (actlmgrd) that include Synopsys Synplify Pro/Identity Pro® ME (snpslmd) and Siemens ModelSim/QuestaSim® ME (saltd,which replaces the previous mgcld).

Before opening Libero SoC v2025.1, perform the following procedure to upgrade your systems:

  1. Upgrade existing daemons from v11.16 to v11.19. The v11.19 daemons available for downloading appear under the Daemons Downloads link on the following Microchip web page: www.microchip.com/libero.
  2. Install the upgraded license available on your microchipDIRECT account (Microchip updated all existing active floating licenses to support the new saltd daemons): www.microchipdirect.com/fpga-software-products.

This bundle is backward-compatible with all previous Libero SoC releases.

Starting with Libero SoC v2024.2, the latest 64-bit license daemons with FlexLM v11.19 are required for all floating license users. For all current floating license users who recently received a new license file due to renewal or upgrade, please download and set up the latest daemons as well.
