Licensing for quartus Prime Lite 17.0.2

Hello

Welcome to INTEL forum. From my understanding, the Quartus Lite/web Edition software requires no license, so it will continue working even License file is not specified. Please continue with the compilations and report to us back if the compilation is not successful with error message in Quartus.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

However, I'm always blocked by the license .

When I run global request and the compilation isn't sucessful: I obtain the following result and there is no output folder, the top_upp_amp.rbf is missing

intelFPGA_lite_adress/17.0/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --flow compile file_qpf_address/top_upp_amp.qpf

Then I try running each step request but the result is the same : there is no output folder, the top_upp_amp.rbf is missing:

At the end of all these commands there is no output folder or rbf file.
