Honored ContributorHello, I need to install Quartus II 13.1 to 25 lab computers. How many times can Quartus II 13.1 be installed from one Altera Account? Do yo have any suggestion which will facilitate the installation? Thanks
Honored ContributorDon't think there is any limit to the number of installs per account.
For installing onto that many computers I would suggest you download the DVD image, instead of the installer for each version. Unfortunatly, that is 13.1 only, (not the post release patches) It can be downloaded from software.altera.com PeteHonored ContributorIn fact when using the Altera installer, you can choose to not delete the downloaded files, and the next time you run the installer, you can choose to use the downloaded files instead of downloading again. So during the first installation, if you choose to put the downloaded files in a shared network folder, you can install Quartus on the other machines without downloading everything again.
Honored ContributorThere's no limit on how many times Quartus II can be installed, maybe you concern should be regarding the license. But I believe you'll using floating license for the lab so it shall not be an issue. cheers
Honored Contributoryou may also consider to use web edition and which is no require license but limited feature. Or if this is for university, you can contact Altera university program to request free license.
Honored ContributorThe way it's usually done (from my experience) is that there is one Quartus installation on a shared volume. That volume is mounted on all other computers in the lab or server farm. That worked for both Windows and Linux, although it's simpler to set it up on Linux. Then you have a license server pointed by setting LM_LICENSE_FILE envvar.
Thanks, EvgeniHonored ContributorHi Kassi,
You can get the web edition for free on as many machines as you'd like: http://dl.altera.com/?edition=web It works on plenty of kits. If you need the full edition, this depends on the kind of licence you have. Evgeni's suggestion would work nicely if you have linux on those 25 computers.Honored Contributorkassi... did you get your license quotation from Altera sales, incase really need to get 25 working computers?
