    Hello

    Welcome to INTEL forum. Could you kindly help check you license setup again. Starting with your OS support, whether your machine is supported or not (OS) by referring to link below:

    https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html

    Make sure the port used by license server or vendor daemon is not blocked. The port number is required for Windows systems and should be outside of the 27000-28000 range and be unique on the machine. The following example shows how to specify port numbers in a floating license file. example, specify ports 1800, 1801, and 1802.

    SERVER myServer 0123456789ab 1800

    VENDOR alterad ./alterad port=1801

    VENDOR mgcld ./mgcld port=1802

    My suggestion would be:

    1) After VPN connection is established, setup license path in Quartus II>>tools>>license setup.

    2) Verify license server is running by using “lmutil lmstat –a –c <port>@<server> in BOTH server and client machine.

    3) Ping license server via VPN or telnet <host>< port> to check the TCP connection is established

    Please stop and restart the server. You need to allow the firewall access to the port number from both server and client machine.

    You can also refer to link below for more detailed instructions for Setting up a floating network license server (page 37 of 59):

    https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/manual/quartus_install.pdf

    You can also refer this following YouTube for license setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob9ei5lMgG

    You can also refer to this following YouTube on Setting up and debugging Quartus floating licenses.

    Let me know if this information is helpful.

      Hello

      An issue is happened in local network as well and where is no firewall.

      The temporary license works properly .

      Could you check attached permanent license
