I have Quartus II Web Edition installed on Ubuntu 8.04
EVERY time I start the program, it asks me for the location for the licence!! The licence works fine so why does it ask me every time I open the program? I have set the privileges on the folder from root to user but that didn't help12 Replies
Altera_ForumI cannot find that file
The ENTIRE installation folder has read/write permissions for the user- Altera_Forum
looks like the license file location is stored in ~/.altera.quartus/quartus2.ini. try taking a look at whether this gets written, maybe there are some permissions issues.

maybe u have a "spacebar" in ur license file path. try moving it to c:\altera\****.dat worked out for me
- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- check in Tools => License Setup that the MAC address that Quartus matches your license file. --- Quote End --- The licence works fine. Everytime I start Quartus, it asks me for a licence. I select; "If you have valid licence, specify the location......" and the file path IS already sepcified!

try pointing to the license in the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

I re-installed but still have the same problem.....
- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- I believe that only full version (not web version) was allowed on Linux platforms. I have Quartus II 9.0 (full edition) running on Ununtu 9.04. I simply point to the license location in Tools -> License setup -> License File. --- Quote End --- Oops, it is the FULL edition. I have a 6 month student licence. I am going to try and do a re-install and see if that fixes the problem
