Honored ContributorHi,
So from what I understand, it appears that the Quartus II web edition software is working correctly but the ModelSim-Altera web edition generates an error when running this application? Here are a few things to check: 1. Check to see if you also have a MGLS_LICENSE_FILE in your environment variable? If so, you may be using another Mentor Graphics software applications. This may potentially cause a problem because ModelSim-Altera may be trying to access the other MGCLD vendor daemon. Thus, if you are using any other Mentor software applications, you can simply copy and paste the ModelSim-Altera feature lines to your Mentor graphics license which should resolve this. 2. In the past, I've had two NIC card on my laptop. Thus, you can ensure that you are requesting for the correct NIC ID by verifying this in the Quartus II software -> Tools -> License Setup -> Local System info. This should state the correct NIC ID in which you should use to generate your license file from the Altera website. If the above doesn't help, please provide some more details to the failure... i.e., Are you able to use the Quartus II ver 7.2 software without any problems? Which version of the Modelsim-Altera software are you having this problem with? Is this Modelsim-Altera 6.1g (for Quartus II version 7.2)? Are you using VPN or logging in remotely? etc... Here's a great reference link on Altera software licensing: http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an340.pdf --Pld_wiz
