CHAPTER 2: LICENSING THE QUARTUS II SOFTWARE
UPGRADING OR SETTING UP A LICENSE MANAGER SERVER
17 ■ INSTALLATION & LICENSING FOR LINUX WORKSTATIONS ALTERA CORPORATION
Upgrading or Setting Up a License
Manager Server
This section provides instructions for configuring network licensing for the
Quartus II software on Intel Pentium III or compatible processor-based
Linux workstations running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 or 5.0; CentOS-4
or CentOS-5; or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.
Upgrading the FLEXlm License Server

Notes:
(1) To prevent port number conflicts, you can specify a port number in the license file. If you do not
specify a port number, the FLEXlm License Manager automatically chooses a free port between
27000 and 27009.
(2) In some network environments, the license server does not have a software tool(s) installation
that provides the necessary vendor daemon (alterad or mgcld). In this case, copy the required
daemon from another machine that does have an installation of the software. Find the file in the
directory location specified. Save the file in a similarly named directory or any other location on
the license server. Specify the daemon location on the license server in the license file.
(3) If the path server has spaces in it, enclose the full path in quotation marks.
(4) If you are not using a license file for the ModelSim-Altera software, you may delete this line.
