Synopsys Installation Guide

This page links to installation information for major Synopsys releases, which occur in March, June, September, and December. In the following table, click the document link for the release you need (or check the link associated with your product release date).

Some products might release at other times, and not all products are included in the Installation Guide. If you do not find the information you want, check the Products Not Found page.

Note:
    You can also find installation information on the product software CD and in the
   product_INSTALL_README.txt file in the product EST download directory.

Synopsys Installer
For most Synopsys products, you need to download the Synopsys Installer. Find the corresponding installer version for your release opportunity and use that or a later version. (If you are downloading Synopsys Common Licensing (SCL), the Synopsys Installer is required).

Release Information
Service pack releases (such as Z-2006.12-SP1) are stand-alone releases and must be installed in a new directory. Do not install them over an existing release. The standard installation instructions in the Installation Guide also apply to service pack releases.


For patch (overlay) releases (such as Z-2006.12-1), see the product_INSTALL_README file in the product download directory in the EST vault.
