mgcld exited with status 27

Hi

We've just bought Quartus II software with Modelsim-Altera

We received the License activation code and login to the Altera

website to obtain the licence .dat file.

We modified the license file to adapt the Server with our configuration

SERVER my_server 00B0D0ABCCBA 1800

VENDOR alterad D:\quartus\bin\alterad.exe

VENDOR mgcld D:\exemplar\leospec\license\win32\mgcld.exe

USE_SERVER

When we try to run the server diamond, we have the following error :

:57:52 (lmgrd) US Patents 5,390,297 and 5,671,412.

15:57:52 (lmgrd) License file(s): 1-7N1W49_License.dat

15:57:57 (lmgrd) license file and re-start daemons.

15:57:57 (lmgrd) This may be due to the fact that you are using

15:57:57 (lmgrd) is the license file you want to use.

Can someone help us on this issue?

Thank in advance

    We resolved our issue.

    Here the workaround

    Issue# 1

    The first license file was generated with « Redundant Server ID 2» and «Redundant Server ID 3» and those field not supposed to be filled.

    Regenarate a second license file without those files.

    Issue# 2

    The path for « path to deamon executable » have to be modified in the license file.

    SERVER DAL2 842b2b4302f8 1900

    VENDOR alterad C:\flexlm\mgcld.exe

    VENDOR mgcld C:\flexlm\mgcld.exe

    USE_SERVER

    Issue# 3

    This configuration work on our server:

    use lmtool from anthother software in our server

    use alterad downloaded from Altera website

    use mgcld copied from folder C:\altera\10.1\modelsim_ae\mgcld.exe

    The software utilities lmtool et alterad included with the Quartus II software did not work for our server configuration.

    Our server using Windows 7 in 64 bits

    Best Regards
