Quartus Prime Floating License

Hello

Welcome to Intel forum. But before setting up license, would you kindly help check, whether your machine is supported or not (OS) by referring to link below:

Make sure the port used by license server or vendor daemon is not blocked. The port number is required for Windows systems and should be outside of the 27000-28000 range and be unique on the machine. The following example shows how to specify port numbers in a floating license file. example, specify ports 1800, 1801, and 1802.

SERVER myServer 0123456789ab 1800

VENDOR alterad ./alterad port=1801

VENDOR mgcld ./mgcld port=1802

Please stop and restart the server. You need to allow the firewall access to the port number from both server and client machine.

You can also refer to link below for more detailed instructions for Setting up a floating network license server (page 37 of 59):
