New Contributorfirst time setup
Super ContributorHi
Thanks for update. Could you reconfirm back the license manager server setup? First you need to get the server up, refer to 4.5. Configuring the License Manager Server link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/22-1/configuring-the-license-manager-server.html
New ContributorI downloaded the Software for Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software V22.1, I downloaded one of the versions from multiple downloads that was lighter then the complete program, which also included the FlexLM License Server Software Module.
So, instead of having to create the directory that the software normally sits in, I have the directory.
C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\lmgrd
C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\lmutil
C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\alterad
except lmtools, which was from a different directory than what is suggested by the documentation.
I had to move lmtools from C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\questa_fe\win64, to C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64
So, if I followed the instructions that I could tell correctly, I made a folder for the license.dat file C:\flexlm\license.dat
then I changed the lines in the license file
SERVER "servername" "nicID" port#
Vendor alterad C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\alterad.exe port=port#
Vendor mgcld C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\mgcld.exe port=Port#
Then, because I downloaded Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software, I followed the commands given by the documentation I sent yesterday, only I dont think I needed to update the alterad or lmgrd daemons,
I think I only entered the command prompt line C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\lmgrd -c C:\flexlm\license.dat
this ran, and launched two windows one for mgcld and one for alterad.
I then went and found the C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\lmutil lmdown -c C:\flexlm\license.dat which I believe then turned them both off.

After I stopped them, I went to the next section of the PDF that I was using.
I tried using the lmtools executable.
When I tried to type in LM tools in CMD and using the C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\lmtools.exe, it told me there was an error and that it was not found.Which is then when I went to look for the lmtools and found it in C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\questa_fe\win64, rather then to suggested C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\quartus\bin64\, location according to the documentation.
I copied the lmtool.exe to the bin64 location and then ran the tool.and started trying to follow the directions, the configuration using services is blank right now however.
