How to setup floating license for a client PC?

I have a floating license for Altera software including Quartus II, Modelsim SE, Nios II. I setup a license server successfully according to instruction from http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/q...

For Modelsim-SE, usually you'd setup the main server with the floating licenses using FlexLM, and then specify the license server on the client machines, eg., if the server machine is 'fred', and 'bob' is a client, then 'bob' will have the environment variable

LM_LICENSE_FILE = 1717@fred

Where 1717 is the license server port number on 'fred'. The LM_LICENSE_FILE variable can be a comma separated list of servers.

Cheers,

Dave
