Honored ContributorHey Dave,
I agree and I saw that web edition doesnt require a license, but I believe it requires a license file just to register the PC am running the tool in, which I received from here- www[dot]altera[dot]com/download/licensing/free_software/lic-q2web.jsp steps done- Then I followed the instructions to place the license file in C:\flexlm and then added the system variable for this license file and mapped this license fro the Quartus (Tools>License setup) and checked the "Use LM_LCENSE_FILE variable" and I also tried by placing this license file somewhere in the harddrive (C:/) and mapped the location from the Quartus again using the same License set up dialog box and this time unchecked the "Use LM_LCENSE_FILE variable" and but brosed the location of the license file. With all these done- I have two messages 1. About checking my internet connection 2. About the license. the error messages I get when I try to compile (my project doesnt use any paid IP cores) are- Error (20005): A license file is required to enable compilation of your design for the Cyclone family of devices Error: Quartus II 32-bit Analysis & Synthesis was unsuccessful. 1 error, 0 warnings Error: Peak virtual memory: 229 megabytes Error: Processing ended: Thu Apr 12 17:15:34 2012 Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:01 Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:00 Error (293001): Quartus II Full Compilation was unsuccessful. 3 errors, 0 warnings I believe. am missing something somewhere. please advise- Thanks for your reply rrk
