Quartus comes with FlexLM executables. The short of it is that you start the "server" by running lmgrd -c <license file>. You have to first adjust the SERVER line in the license file to put the desired port there and your server name. (1800@<servername> is a suggestion)

You can check to see if things are working by using lmutil lmstat -a. Be sure to set your LM_LICENSE_FILE to "1800@<servername>". If that works, you've done it right.

Oh, and there's a guide that covers all this stuff here: http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/quartus_install.pdf
