Installing a Sentinel Software Guard
If your installation of the Quartus II software for Windows uses a
node-locked (single-user) fixed license and includes a Sentinel software
guard, before you specify a license file, you must install the Sentinel driver
and software guard.
!
Before You Install the Sentinel Software Guard
You can use a USB software guard to license the Quartus II software for Windows
versions 7.2 or earlier. If you are licensing the Quartus II software versions 8.0 or
later, you must use a NIC ID. Parallel port software guards are still supported for
backward compatibility; however, they are not supported on 64-bit systems.
USB software guards are not supported for Linux operating system installations.
