 **A.** This issue arises when you click 'Never' when prompted for license checkout. A common rule when working with Cadence is 'Never click Never'.

+**Q.** How do I Add a library so that it shows up in my Library Manager?
+**A.** In your project directory, open the cds.lib file. Then if you need to add the library /path/.../NewLibrary, then add a new line to the cds.lib
+<code>DEFINE NewLibrary    /path/.../NewLibrary</code>
+Then, in the Library Manager, click View-> Refresh. You should be able to see the NewLibrary added your library.

+**Q.** How do I make a copy of a library or a cell?
+**A.** In the Library Manager, select a library (or cell) and then Right Click and select Copy option. Then you can define the location of the new library (or cell).
+If you are copying library or a hierarchical cell, then its a good idea to update instances of the entire library, so that your schematic uses local copied cells instead of pointing all the time to the original directory.
