Honored ContributorI have been getting a License Setup Required dialog box when opening my Quartus Software. Each time I link to my valid license file and Quartus opens. Over a week’s period of time I may have to do this multiple times. I am using Quartus 13 in a 64 bit Windows 7 environment. Why is Quartus not remembering my license file?
Honored ContributorIs your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set right?
Honored Contributoryou don't necessarily have to set LM_LICENSE_FILE (instead just select the license file in Quartus directly), but it would be a valid work around
Quartus tries to store this information in C:\Users\<username>\quartus2.ini check if this file has proper permissions, etcHonored ContributorThanks Linas and Thepancake.
My LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable did not exist. I did manually enter the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable, and it appears to be working. Thanks for the help! It is very stange that I had to do this, I have been using Quartus for years and have never had to do this. It is good to have the issue resolved. Thanks Again! FYI: The quartus2.ini has no refecrence to my license file. I pasted the info from the INI file for reference below. quartus2.ini [Cloud 13.0] CLOUD_USER_ID = 0 [Programmer 13.0] PGMDQ_INTERNAL_SETTING = 0 PGMW_SFL_USE_CRC_CHECK = onHonored ContributorHere's the format for the quartus2.ini license section. i use a floating license, you can probably replace port@server with a file path for a fixed license
[General 13.0] LICENSE_FILE = port@serverHonored ContributorThanks, I'll give that a try as well.
