    - You need a Quartus subscription license

    - Under Tools/Options/General/Processing/Parallel Compilation, you can set the number of CPUs used for compilation.

    I have got the license.

    And also set the parallel compilation to "all available processors" :confused:

    But it still use only one core.

    My OS is windows sever 2003.

    Hi,

    I'm not a real OS expert, but did your OS recognize all your CPU's ?

    Is Windows Server 2003 supported by QUartus ?

    Kind regards

    Did you check "Flow elapsed time" in compilation report?

    I have checked , when fitting the Quartus "average processors used" is 2.1:)
