Re: Questa - license problem
Quartus Lite does not require a license file to run. However, your license setup should still be configured correctly. Ideally, in Quartus Standard or Pro Edition, you should see the licensed features listed in the Licensed AMPP/MegaCore Functions window. Could you try running the following command and verify that the environment variable is set correctly? echo %SALT_LICENSE_SERVER% If the issue persists, please share: -A screenshot of your environment variable settings -Your license file Also, could you let me know which operating system you are using?

Yes, you can checkout the licensing know-how guide section 2: Check Your License (.dat) File, to understand how to check the NIC ID. (host ID) https://community.altera.com/discussions/quartus-prime/licensing-%E2%80%98know-how%E2%80%99-guide/352017#community-352017-mcetoc_1jlgk8oh4_4 I have assumed the license file you used is a fixed node license. Correct me if I am wrong. Is that mean that it will be a unique Host ID in the license file for each computer? > It depends on what software you are using. For Quartus software, the license will work if it is a companion licenses. FYI, a companion license grants license portability to a fixed product license. Each fixed product can be assigned to up to three computers: an office, a lab, and a home computer if all are only used by the same person. However, very important to note that the Questa – Altera FPGA Edition software does Not support companion licenses. So the answer is yes for Questa software.

The error message indicates an invalid host, which means the Host ID in the license file does not match the Host ID of the machine. Could you compare the Host ID of the target machine with the Host ID specified in the license file? If the Host IDs do not match, the license will not work. In that case, you will need to generate a new license file using the correct Host ID for the machine. Regards, Richard Tan8Views0likes6CommentsRe: Quartus Prime Download
You do not need to upload the certificate. You only need to specify the full path to the cacert.pem certificate file, for example: C:\Users\Downloads\cacert.pem You may also refer to the forum thread below, which discusses a similar issue encountered by others. https://community.altera.com/discussions/quartus-prime/unable-to-download-quartus/351334 Regards, Richard Tan7Views0likes0CommentsRe: Stratix III FPGA development kit
Hi bsneves Have you seen my latest response? Could you help check the inquiries below? Do you have a valid license file for the Quartus Prime Standard or Pro Edition Software? If so, have you use the license file for Quartus II 13.1 Subscription Edition? If the issue still persists, could you share the license file with me for further investigation? You may send it to me via private message instead of posting it publicly. Regards, Richard Tan2Views0likes0CommentsRe: ModelSim/Questa does not include external IP repo files
I think the error occurs because the files is encrypted. Perhaps it could give you an idea what might goes wrong. I am not familiar with the Spatial IP simulation flow, so I would recommend following the user guide for guidance. https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/863373/2026.1.1/fpga-ai-suite-handbook/simulating-an-fpga-ai-suite-ip Regards, Richard Tan25Views1like0Comments
