Nov. 24, 2003 For DesignDirect license file you will need your harddrive DOS serial number. To get this open a DOS box and run this "dir /p" and you should get something like the following in the header at the top of the window. Volume in drive C is unlabeled Serial number is xxxx:xxxx Directory of C:\* xxxx:xxxx is your harddrive serial number. Send email request to lic_admin@latticesemi.com The request needs to include the harddrive serial number and ask for a license file for Vantis DesignDirect Version 1.1 MACH starter kit software and that you're a student in EE481 digital design lab at University of Kentucky. The email reply should include the license file name "license.dat" as an attachment. This file should be placed in a directory "c:\vantis\cpld11\license" You should be good to go. Any drastic changes to the harddrive such as repartitioning might require a new license file.
