AWR software is beginning to migrate to the Cadence.com site for download and license generation. This process will take time and not all customers will be impacted immediately. This page is used to document the current state of software and license delivery.
Downloads
If you are used to Cadence systems and downloads, the main AWR software installers are now available from the Cadence downloads page.
- If you want or need to download form Cadence's website, you need to generate a support account. You will be linked up to your account through the Host ID of the license server you are using so make sure to have that handy. You might have to contact your license administrator to get this value. Please see AWR Customers and the Cadence Website for details on registering on the Cadence website.
- If you historically got software downloads from the AWR download site, you can continue to get your downloads that way for now.

Licensing
Licensing is a bit more complicated, here is the current situation
- Term customers and customers on maintenance from a purchase and using a floating license will get licenses delivered from Cadence. For help, go to http://support.cadence.com/ and create a support case. Note: licenses in Cadence systems are tied to the Host ID of the floating license server so having the Host ID will help. Additionally, each Host ID has a set of contacts assigned to each Host ID so knowing who those contacts are will help as well. If you are used to seeing AWR license files, please see the following article on how the license files will be different: How is a Cadence license different from an AWR one
- All other customers will have their licenses issued from the legacy AWR licensing system. These would primarily be customers using locked licenses or off maintenance who need a new license file. Please contact awr.licenses@cadence.com for any issues or request you have.
If you are not sure about your product type, you can use the AWR download page information to help you. Please follow the directions below.
- Log into the AWR download site using your AWR username and password. https://awrcorp.com/download/login.aspx
- Go to your Account Information, as shown below.
- Go to the bottom of the page and look for the Product Details section.

insert image If Version is "15.0" and the License Type is "Floating", your license will come from Cadence systems. Otherwise your license will come from AWR systems. If you have both, you will get two licenses that will need to be combined into one file using a text editor. Edit the AWR file and copy the lines that begin with INCREMENT to the Cadence file. Do not copy the SERVER and DAEMON lines.
Note icon false Currently licenses are using the AWR licensing daemons and this will change in the next few months to the Cadence licensing daemons.
