license information, is sent to the email address specified for your

Adding Floating Seats
You can add floating seats to an existing floating license to increase the
number of users available for a floating license. Adding additional seats to
an existing floating license may affect its maintenance expiration date.
1. Access the Self Service Licensing Center from the Altera website.
2. Log on to your myAltera account.
3. Click Add Floating Seats to access the Add Floating Seats page.
4. On the Add Floating Seats page, click Add Seats next to the additional
seats in the Additional Floating Seat Products table that you want to
add to an existing floating license.
5. On the Add Floating Seats - Select Product License page, click Add
Seats next to the floating license in the Select a Floating Server table to
which you want to add the additional seats.
6. On the Add Floating Seats - Select Seats page, type the number of
additional seats you would like to add to your floating license in the
How many seats do you want to add this time? box.
When you add additional seats to an existing floating license, the new
maintenance subscription term of the floating license is calculated by
adding the total number of maintenance months for the existing and
new seats, and then dividing by the total number of seats. Any partial
number is rounded up to the nearest whole number.
For example, if you have an existing floating license with ten seats that
expires in five months and you purchase two additional seats, your
updated floating license maintenance subscription would expire in
seven months for all twelve seats.
