Q: Can I combine my Altera network license with other software tool
licenses so that I require only one license file?
A: Altera recommends using a separate license file for Altera software to
avoid potential problems and confusion. In a UNIX environment, you can
start multiple services for the lmgrd daemon using different port numbers.
For PCs, use the FLEXlm control panel and change the Service Name under
the Setup tab to a different name for each copy of the lmgrd.exe file.
You can combine the Altera license with other licenses if the other software
tools use the same version of the lmgrd daemon. Always use the latest
version of the lmgrd daemon, which is typically the version included with
the latest version of the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II software.
If the license server is on a UNIX system, use the lmver <filename> utility to
check the versions of the lmgrd and alterad daemons. The default file names
are lmgrd.exe and alterad.exe.
If the license server is on a PC, the version of the lmgrd daemon is the same
as the FLEXlm License Manager version installed with the Quartus II or
MAX+PLUS II software. To verify the version of the lmgrd daemon, open
the FLEXlm License Manager through the PC server Control Panel window
from the Start menu. The version information is on the About tab.
