Altera_Forumi think i am not clear...
i want to initialize the software (dsp builder v6.0, quartus II v6.0 and nios) provided with the kit. i got license file for quartus II v6.0 from the licensing site, and it is working. please help me for valid license file that i can use in dsp builder v6.0.i donot know how i can get a valid license file for dsp builder. i have read the documentation (dsp builder user guide and dsp builder release notes) but the problem of generating the vhdl files from the signal compiler is still there. may i come to know how i can get a valid license file for dsp builder?- Altera_Forum
Have you set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to your license file? It's probably safest to make sure it's on a path that doesn't contain any spaces.
To see its value in MATLAB, type:getenv LM_LICENSE_FILE - Altera_Forum
thanks sir for your reply.
sir i got license.dat file from the altera site and enter it in the quartus II tool menu. so my quartus licensing problem is resolve. i set the path to same file(license.dat) in the environment variable. when i type the command.. getenv LM_LICENSE_FILE ans= D:\license_file (this is the same path that i have set to the license file) but still problem is not resolve. signal compiler shows the message in its message window "unable to find a valid license file". - Altera_Forum
Start Quartus, click on the Tools menu and select License Setup. In the list of licenses, do you have "Altera (C4D5)" with Product "512A"?
- Altera_Forum
no sir i do not "altera (C4D5)" with product "512A".
- Altera_Forum
Then your license isn't valid for DSP Builder. I don't know anything about how you obtain a valid license unfortunately.
- Altera_Forum
okay.
thanx for your information - Altera_Forum
Hi, I have this problem also. I have a Valid license. Environment variable is set correctly. Open quartus ii\licence_setup... and in there i see all the vendors INCLUDING C4D5.
Typed this command in matlab: dos('lmutil lmdiag C4D5_512A') i get : lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2006 Macrovision Europe Ltd. and/or Macrovision Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Error: Error during compilation: Error: Error analyzing model see log for details. Im using quartus 10.1, dsp builder 10.0, matlab R2008b. Stratix ii dsp kit. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. Regards, Husam - Altera_Forum
You can't use Quartus 10.1 and DSP Builder 10.0 together at the same time. The DSP Builder version must be the same as the Quartus version. Is that a typo?
- Altera_Forum
no it isn't i am actually using different versions. I did this becuase i read that matlab R2008 is compatibale with dsp_builder 10.0 and not 10.1,
i only have one version of matlab so isit possible for me to use quartus 10.0 web edition?
