Cadence Orcad in version 16.6. Had big problems finding this myself, so i thought i add it here. I have removed the password protected rar file from the original share (I hate those assholes doing that). I have also tested it under win7 and it is currently working fine.

The licens manager hack gives you access to everything in the cadence SPB package.

see www.cadence.com/ for more info



1. Install (License Manager) skipping license installation.

 2. Install program (Cadence SPB 16.6).

 3. Copy entire contents of folder "AspirinCadenceLicenseManager" to "C:CadenceLicenseManager" overwriting existing files. (If copying stops on file in use, stop "Cadence License Manager" service in computer management/services)

 4. Copy entire contents of folder "AspirinCadenceSPB_16.6tools" to C:CadenceSPB_16.6tools". Locate and run with administrative rights the "Tools.cmd" script in destination folder. 
 The script runs from 1 to 5 minutes depending on the speed of your computer.

 5. In folder "AspirinCadenceLicGen", use a text editor to open file "src.lic". 
 Change "this-host name" to the real name of your computer. 
 Save the file.

 6. In folder "AspirinCadenceLicGen", find and run script "LicGen.cmd". This will generate a license file "license.lic".

 7. Start the license server configuration program: Start -> Programs -> Cadence -> License Manager -> License Server Configuration Utility. Specify the "license.lic" file as generated in the previous step. Click Next. You should see message indicating the successful startup of the license server.
