OpenCL SDK can't find valid license file

Hi Gordonei,

You will probably have seen entry 3-1 of this article http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46355 which addresses the requirements for the Altera License but applies to the Fixed Seat license rather than the Floating License that you are using.

Out of the 3 recommendations for the Fixed Seat license, you are using the 1 recommendation that would still apply which is to use LM_LICENSE_FILE rather than set the license server location in the Quartus-II License Manager GUI.

If you have other machines that pick up correctly both the Quartus-II & the OpenCL license from your license server and only that one machine does not then I would double check that your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable does not contain a typo (double check as I'm sure you already have checked!). Maybe the server port rather than the server name contains a typo?

The Nallatech license for the 385 BSP uses a mechanism totally independent from the Altera license and it will not alter the behavior of the Altera license.

If you have set up both the server path in the Quartus-II License Manager and set up the LM_LICENSE_PATH environement variable, I would also make sure you remove all the Quartus-II License Manager GUI settings and only work with LM_LICENSE_FILE.

Thanks,

G
