Thanks for your answer!
I installed Quartus an Modelsim on a fresh Windows XP SP2, so no other Software is installed (MS Office of course).
And I'm sure about the NIC-Address.
One other thing: I'm running the software in a Vmware. I don't know if this is important, but Quartus runs just perfectly, inclusive the USB_Blaster. I don't have any troubles programming the Cyclone II from within VMware...

Hi pld_wiz
The VMWARE is probably the problem, by default, the VM will power up with a different MAC address (NIC-Address) every time you start the VM. This causes issues with MAC based license managers (no problem with USB dongle based). You can setup the VM to used a fixed MAC address, then re-request the license file.
