New ContributorDear Intel,
I understand there is some locked vs floating license problem for Quartus. Unfortunately I am unable to resolve it on my own.
Kindly set a zoom meeting or any remote access link in order to fix my problem.
Thank you
Regards,

I got my license on this link: Intel® FPGA self-service licensing center
Thank you Larry and Prabhakar.

Super ContributorHi
Thanks for update and apologies for the difficulty happen. For further checking, could you provide
1) Screenshot of Quartus >>tools>>license setup
2) Machine OS information
3) License.dat file
And for privacy, you can reply/attach your file in private message
New ContributorHi,
I do not know where to find the License.dat file. Please provide instructions as to where I can find it.
Also how do I send private message?
Occasional ContributorYou need to obtain a license from this link:
https://fpgasupport.intel.com/Licensing/license/index.html#
Register and add your computer MAC address. Request a Questasim starter edition license. authorization@intel.com will reply with an email.
Then you need to modify your LM_LICENSE_FILE license variable with the path to your license file.
Let us know if that works. Cheers, Larry
New ContributorHello,
As per your instruction I followed the following link:
https://fpgasupport.intel.com/Licensing/license/index.html#
and ended up on a page that just displayed
Upon clicking the next button, a message was displayed saying I would be sent an email for confirming registration. It is close to 10 hours since them and I have not received any link in my email yet.
Upon following the above link now I am being redirected to partner alliance page. I have attached the screenshot of this page for you reference.
Kindly help me out here.
Thank you
Occasional ContributorTry this link https://licensing.intel.com/psg/s/
Then that should take you to evaluation license site
https://licensing.intel.com/psg/s/sales-signup-evaluationlicenses
There have been updates to the license service center. Let us know if that works. regards Larry
New ContributorHi Larry,
I still haven't received any mail for the license. All my attempt end up at this window
And the contact customer support link never woks.
It's almost a week since I have been trying to obtain license for Questa. Can you not generate the link for license yourself and send me? it is free after all...
Occasional ContributorI'm an Intel employee and also teach at a local university and have had my students successfully download free Questasim licenses. send me an email with your 12 digit hex hostid (on Windows, command prompt: ipconfig /all and we'll get you the license. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Larry

Thank you Larry and Prabhakar.
New ContributorHi, the link takes me to the Intel® Partner Alliance page. The page says Account Required. Clicking on the Complete Registration button does nothing. Can you please help me to get a license?
Occasional ContributorGlad to hear... Happy simulating!
