DSP Builder license

i 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?

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

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".

okay.

thanx for your information

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 :

i get this error:

Im using quartus 10.1, dsp builder 10.0, matlab R2008b. Stratix ii dsp kit.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

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?
