Can´t connect to our network licence with QuartusII

we have inside this box the complete path where the used Licence.dat is stored on the server. f.e. "Q:\Altera\Licence.dat"

inside the Licence.dat the first 4 lines :

SERVER MyServerName *MyNICID_MAC* 1800

VENDOR alterad C:\FlexLM\alterad.exe

VENDOR mgcld C:\FlexLM\mgcld.exe

USE_SERVER

FlexLM is stored as you can see on Drive C of the Server and executed there.

Have you tried the lmutil lmdiag to check the connection between you pc and the server that holds the licence ?

Here are our first four lines:

SERVER server XXXXXXMACXXX 27000

VENDOR alterad \flexlm\alterad.exe

VENDOR mgcld \flexlm\mgcld.exe

USE_SERVER

This sting is in our Licence file box:

@server:27000@C:\FlexLM\licence.dat

But in my opinion the command in the Licence file box isn´t correct.

Do some body know the right command?

Where could i download "lmutil lmdiag" to check the status? I can only find lmutil.exe in a folder, but this programm doesn´t show any status.

Thanks for your response

on your client you'll want to put 27000@server in the license file or LM_LICENSE_FILE variable.

:mad: Warning: Can't contact license server "27000@server" -- this server will be ignored

Does somebody know which ports are used for communication?

works fine...

Reason: Firewallsettings on Win2k8!

Thanks for help.
