UPGRADING OR SETTING UP A LICENSE MANAGER SERVER
55 ■ ALTERA SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND LICENSING ALTERA CORPORATION
If you installed the FLEXlm software using the Altera Installer, the
current version of the lmgrd and alterad daemons are located in the
following directories:
Windows:
<drive>:\<Quartus II system directory>\bin\alterad
<drive>:\<Quartus II system directory>\bin\lmgrd
Linux or Solaris:
/<Quartus II system directory>/<operating system>/alterad
/<Quartus II system directory>/<operating system>/lmgrd
Where <operating system> is linux or solaris.
3. Copy the FLEXlm software utility lmutil from the Quartus II system
directory to the license server computer.
4. Restart the FLEXlm license server by typing the following commands
at a command prompt:
Windows:
<FLEXlm system directory>\lmutil -c lmdown <license file path> r
<FLEXlm system directory>\lmgrd -c <license file path> [-l <optional
log path>] r
Linux or Solaris:
/<FLEXlm system directory>/lmutil -c lmdown <license file path> r
/<FLEXlm system directory>/lmgrd -c <license file path>
[-l <optional log path>] r
Configuring a New License Server
The Quartus II software uses the FLEXlm license manager server software to
administer licensing for single or multiple users in a network installation. If
you do not have an existing FLEXlm license server, you must configure a
new license server before starting the Quartus II software for the first time.
