Linux Quartus II 10.0 sp1 standalone license issues

Hi!

I'm running the full licensed (standalone) version of Quartus 10.0 sp1 on SuSE 11.3. When I launch Quartus, the license setup appears asking for my license file or to continue 30 day trial. I have the correct path to my valid license file, but under "Local system info," the "Network Interface Card (NIC) ID:" reports "Not found."

My ethernet device (eth1) is up and running. I have no connectivity problems. I've tried reinstalling Quartus + sp1 while connected to the internet with no luck.

How does Quartus look for system info? Anyone know how I can debug this?

Thanks!

-Jason

    Problem solved... Simply change eth1 device to eth0. Seems like Quartus assumes you always have a device no eth0.

    From SuSE 11.3 terminal as root user: 

    #  rcnetwork stop#  vim /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

    Changed the device name to "eth0" in this file. Reboot and done!

    Hope this helps others...

    Altera's aware of that bug (I reported it some time ago) and AFAIK it only affects those using Linux/UNIX systems.
