Hi Sheng,
Boy am I glad I submitted my request 2 months early!
I get our lab licensing by logging into the Intel FPGA website.
Like I mentioned in my original request, we have been a member of the Altera/Intel FPGA University program prior to 2000, and have been using Altera software since that time with different boards over the years.
Since Intel acquired Altera, renewing our licenses have been "not great" and I dread this time each year to be quite frank, due to lack of timely communication, and the fact it is midway through our academic year. I can remember when license renewals were requested and sent back with an email within 48 hours under Altera.
Since you asked, let me elaborate further, I sign into the Intel FPGA University program website, to access the Self-Service Licensing Center. From there, I would take a "new License" and generate a license file for the server hardware, and then apply that license file once received to our server.
Unfortunately, I do not see a new ModelSim license there waiting for me to generate a license file for our server. I only see a license going to expire on February 1. If the email stated my license renewal request I submitted was approved, should I not see a new license file listed for me there?
Thank You.
Sean
