Networks and Servers
Q: Can my Linux network license for the Quartus II software work without
an internet connection?
A: If you use a network license for the Quartus II software on a private
network that is not connected to the internet, you should use the license
server IP address instead of its hostname in the SERVER line of the license
file, and the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable on client computers.
Alternatively, if you use the hostname of the license server, ensure that there
is an entry in the /etc/hosts file for the license server.
Q: Can I host both my existing and new floating Quartus II Subscription
Edition license on one server?
A: No, you cannot host two licenses with an identical FEATURE line (old
and new licenses) on one server. You must use a different license server to
host the licenses separately.
Q: Can I use the Windows Terminal Server remote client to run the
Quartus II software?
A: Yes, the Quartus II software versions 3.0 and later support the Windows
Terminal Server remote client for users with floating or fixed licenses.
If you have a fixed license that was generated for the Quartus II software
versions 7.1 and earlier and you want to use the Windows Terminal Server
remote client to run the Quartus II software, you must obtain an updated
license file from the Self Service Licensing Center at www.altera.com/
licensing. You will receive an updated license file containing the TS_OK
element of the license file that supports Windows Terminal Services for the
Quartus II software versions 3.0 and later.
IP
Q: Can my Quartus II software licensing option be different from the IP
licensing options (For example, the Quartus II software has a fixed license
and IP has a floating license)?
A: No, the IP and the Quartus II software licensing options are tied. If you
use the Quartus II Web Edition software, you can use only the fixed licensing
option. However, you can move your IP between systems using the
licensing option of the Quartus II software to which that the IP is tied.
