ALTERA CORPORATION INSTALLATION & LICENSING FOR LINUX WORKSTATIONS 12
Introduction
This section describes how to license the Quartus II software and related
software. To set up your license for the Quartus II software, you must follow
these steps, which are described in more detail in this chapter:
1. Obtain a license file. The Quartus II software requires a license.dat
license file for each server that supports a valid, unexpired network
(multiuser) license or for each node-locked (single-user) license. This
same license file can also enable the additional Altera synthesis and
simulation tools included with Altera software subscriptions, as well as
the MAX+PLUS II software.
2. If you have a network license (FLOATALL or ADD-FLOATALL),
modify the license file.
3. Set up and configure the FLEXlm license manager server.
4. Configure each workstation.
5. Configure each Quartus II user’s environment.
6. Start the Quartus II software.
7. Specify the location of the license file.
8. Specify a web browser.
