Hi All,

i have my quartus license servers behind a firewall so the license cannot be acquired when I work at home.

You should try something like:

ssh -f -C [email protected] -L 1800:flexserver.yourcompany.com:1800 xmessage "forward of lic server" -button stop-forward:9

I'm assuming Linux here. I'm also assuming that there is a X program called xmessage on your firewall. The connection will stay up until you click the stop-forward button. If you don't have xmessage, you can use sleep 3600 instead of xmessage (and the rest of the line) to stay connected for the next hour.

Then you should be able to start Quartus at home as:

LM_LICENSE_FILE=machinewhereyoustartedtheabove:1800 /opt/altera/quartus/bin/quartus
