License server down?
Hi
Since 2 days we have issues in compiling with Quartus Prime Pro 24.3 or 24.3.1 and nothing has changed in our source code.
Quartus crashes or refuse to compile, Platform Designer is stucked on its splashscreen, .... Sometimes project does not compile and I get the
errors:
Error: UNAVAILABLE: io exception
Error: Connection reset
Error: UNAVAILABLE: io exception
Error: Connection refused: getsockopt: localhost/[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]:53473
Did you heard something concerning these issues (license server from
Altera is perhaps down ? ...)

I'm having the exact same problem! For two days. Trying to open Platform Designer just freezes. Sometimes I get weird exceptions. Compiling freezes.
Using Quartus Pro 25.1.

Check if you see a serv_req_info.txt in the project folder. It will probably show a crash like this:
