Altera Licencing

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 help

    Did you set up the path to the licence file under Tools/License Setup?

    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.

    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

    try pointing to the license in the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

    check in Tools => License Setup that the MAC address that Quartus matches your license file.

    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!
