Legacy 2011 Altera University Floating License SSLC cannot locate license

Hello,

I am the Systems Analyst, Sr. for the College of Engineering at my University where they host a 2011 University Floating license to support Quartus Prime 18.0. The license is active and running an older server that is being decommissioned. 

The original license file includes

   Organization Name

   Original Server Name

   Original host ID (MAC)

   License Type: Quartus II Subscription Edition University Floating

   Seats: 50

   Features: Maxplus2 and Quartus

   Perpetual license term

 

The issue

  The license predates Intel's acquisition of Altera. The SSLC option 'Generate Legacy License" shows it only handles licenses prior to 2009. The original employee/account that obtained the original file is unable to be contacted and am in need of assistance generating this same license file/type with my account for the College of Engineering. I am trying to reach the Intel FGPA Licensing Team to help me with:

   Verifying ownership of this legacy license

    Transfer it to my intel account

    Rehost it to a new server NIC

 

 The support requests I've submitted tell me to seek assistance here. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks so much.

    Hi idk,

     

    From my understanding, you are looking to migrate the license to a new server because the original server has been decommissioned, and the account previously associated with the license is no longer accessible. Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct?

     

    To help us check with the respective licensing team, is this license was issued through the Altera University Program/ Previous Intel University Program?
     

    In addition, may I get the following details from you in order to check with the respective license team?

    • Name: 
    • Email: 
    • University Name:  
    • University Address: 
    • License Name: 
    • New NIC/Host ID: 
    • Old NIC/Host ID: 
    • License Type: 
    • If Floating, Number of Seats: 

    If possible, could you also provide the name and email address of the original employee/contact associated with this license?

     

    Thank you! 

     

    Regards,
