Hi Stephen,

I am running AMS HIT-KIT Version 3.2 (old version). At the moment I am laying out my design in AMS IC Station (Which is a tool in Mentor graphics). Could you please help me to solve the following.
Usually when I open AMS IC Station under the IC Palettes there are links called ICextract (M) and ICextract (D). These links were there until the end of last year and now they are not available.
When I try to open EXTRACT from top menu it say's

License for ICextractC not authorized, so it could not be acquired.

Could you please help me as this is very important for submission of my design.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

Many Thanks,
Viraj

Dear David,
Mentor Graphics has replaced the "icextract" with "calibre_xrc" and
"calibre_ xrccb" since last year. However, we have an agreement with
Mentor to provide our customers with "icextract" on a request bases.
Your site was sent this additional feature (i.e., icextract) last year.
Today, I have asked my colleague Nicola to request this addition feature
for your site for this year and you should receive it soon.
I hope that helps; Furthermore, If I can be of further assistance with
this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Hamid
