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 --- Quote End --- I did every thing you mention in above but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I got license file for my university. I've set the LM_LICENSE_PATH environement correctly and the add the license to quarters as well but it shows me the same error "Can't find a valid license for the Altera SDK for OpenCL". I've did it to different computer with another license file but it shows me the same error. can you please tell me is there have another way to install this license file?
