License

Unlike in Windows, where any of several NICs can be "host IDs" for the license tokens...in Linux, only the first (eth0) can be used. Why??

I feel that even for "fixed node" licenses, Quartus II should search each of the available NIC IDs. On Windows, the behavior seems to function correctly. On Linux, I have to force the NIC ID that the license is generated against to be defined as "eth0". While this is not difficult to do, but I don't think it should be necessary.

Can any one give some advice one this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Best regards

Charley

    Hi, I've a simply question about the license in win and linux. I've changed my development evironment from windows xp to linux ubuntu 12.04. (I have two different hard disks, one with winXP and Quartus 9.1, another with Ubuntu and Quartus 13). Can I use the same license file? beacuse it doesn't work... I've read that I should modify the NIC ID in linux, but could it create any proplems in Windows part?

    Cheers
