License Requirements
To use Dynamic Access for Mentor, ensure that you have valid licenses for the ADSschematic and layout environments. No additional ADS licenses are needed. For moreinformation on ADS licenses, see Setting Up Licenses for Windows Installation (instalpc).For Mentor licenses, check with your local corporate Mentor administrator.
Dynamic Access for Mentor Library RequirementsAn RF design started in ADS can be transferred to Mentor for inclusion in a larger PCBsystem. To transfer parameterized information about the components and interconnects that make up the design, ADS and Mentor must share compatible libraries, with identicalsymbols and layout footprints. For simulation, the ADS library must include electricalmodel information for each element in the schematic.

In the past, this has requiredextensive custom library development work.With the schematic and layout RF Options, Mentor now provides compatible symbollibraries for most passive ADS elements, including transmission line components such asmicrostrip and stripline. This means that ADS designs that use these elements can moveinto the Mentor environment without user-supplied libraries.The Mentor side of the Dynamic Access for Mentor link includes utilities to create andmanage the ADS-compatible symbol library.
