Your problem has nothing to do with the license, you should add the --report switch to your aoc command to get the "On-screen Estimated Resource Usage Summary". For Quartus 16.1 and above, a more detailed report will be available in the folder named "report" inside of the folder created by the OpenCL compiler. Make sure to carefully read the "Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Programming Guide" and "Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Best Practices Guide".

P.S. From what I remember, Quartus v16.1.0 was broken for OpenCL compilation due to a bug which was fixed in v16.1.1. I strongly recommend using the latest v16.1.2 (you need to patch Quartus and AOC separately) if you have a BSP that is compatible with v16.1.
