Licensing Question

I ordered a license file for my quartus software. When i want to download the license file, is it important to download the license file with the development computer?

My development computer has no access to internet, so i want to download it from another computer and transfer it to my dev computer :). Thanks.

    It should'nt be a problem as long the license file is tied to your development computer's NIC ID

    No. You can request and download the license file with _any_ computer.

    But before requesting and downloading you need to create your account on altera.com. Then you need to enter in the Self Service Licensing Center, where you must enter NIC ID of your _development_ computer.

    After receiving of the license file just copy it to your development computer and set path to this file in Tools - License setup in Quartus.
