Honored ContributorHi,
Assuming one starts two compilations at same time where only one floating license is available. Does the Quartus II wait one process until the license becomes available, or just end with license error? Regards,
Honored Contributorno, quartus and others will report that the requestes licence is not available and stop.
sorry but i am not aware of something like a commandline option or anything else that tells quartus and other tools to wait for a licence.Honored ContributorHello MSchmitt,
Thank you so much for your answer. I will check the documents if the option is available. Regards!Honored ContributorUsually it stops, but if it can't get the license at one specific moment (synthesis I think) it will continue but generate a time limited .sof file, with a simple warning buried somewhere in the console messages. It happened to me a few times and it can get very frustrating because you don't realise immediately that the .sof file hasn't been updated, and you are still trying to download the old one.
Honored ContributorDaixiwen,
Thank you for your answer. It seems to need improvement!Honored ContributorI think that the obvious solution recommended by Altera is to buy more licenses ;)
Honored Contributoroh YES Daixiwen !
This behavioral (TRAP :mad: ) will exist forever and be a pain like the A20 gate ... today, tomorrow and the day after ... :( (and it happens not only by the altera newbies) ;)Honored Contributorand the only force we users (customers) have is to drop a licence.
they get the money we get the bugs (Q 10.0)Honored ContributorIn recent versions of Quartus, there is a checkbox in the Tools->License gui that will make the tool wait for floating licenses, so the tool will pause the compile and poll the license server until a license is acquired and continue rather than generating time-limited sofs
Honored ContributorHonored Contributor:p i'm always learning something ;)
