of the FLEXlm License Manager software or the license server software is 8.0
or later. If the FLEXlm License Manager software is version 8.0 or later, skip
to “Rereading an Existing License File” on page 19.
v To determine which version of the FLEXlm License Manager server
software you are using, type the following command at a command
prompt on the computer running the FLEXlm License Manager server
software:
/<FLEXlm system directory path>/lmgrd -v r
/<FLEXlm system directory path>/alterad -v r
If the lmgrd or alterad daemons are not from the FLEXlm software version
8.0 or later, you must upgrade both daemons with the versions provided in
the installation of the Quartus II software.
To upgrade an older version of the FLEXlm License Manager server
software, follow these steps:
1. Make a backup copy your current lmgrd and alterad daemons.
2. Copy the new versions of the files to the computer running the license
server over your current daemons. You may have to shut down the
license server software to complete this step.
If you installed the FLEXlm License Manager server software using the
installation script, the current version of the lmgrd and alterad
daemons are located in the following directories:
/<Quartus II system directory>/linux/alterad
/<Quartus II system directory>/linux/lmgrd
3. Copy the FLEXlm software utility lmutil from the Quartus II system
directory to the license server computer.
4. Restart the FLEXlm license server by typing the following commands
at a command prompt:
/<FLEXlm system directory path>/lmutil -c lmdown <license file
path> r
/<FLEXlm system directory path>/lmgrd -c <license file path>
[-l <optional log path>] r
