APPENDIX B: LICENSING TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have an lmgrd daemon version conflict between Altera software and
another software tool, you must use a separate Altera license.dat file.
Q: What is the difference between SW-QUARTUS-SE-FLT, FLOATALL,
FLOATPC, FLOATNET and FLOATLNX?
A: Currently, Altera offers only the SW-QUARTUS-SE-FLT floating network
license, which provides the license to all operating systems supported by
Altera software. However, Altera continues to support existing FLOATALL,
FLOATPC, FLOATNET, and FLOATLNX subscribers. No changes are
required for the operating systems supported by these licenses. Refer to
“Licensing Options” on page 23 for information regarding floating network
licenses.
If you have a FLOATALL, FLOATPC, FLOATNET, or FLOATLNX license,
when you add new seats, your license file will contain an INCREMENT line
that signifies the same support as a SW-QUARTUS-SE-FLT floating network
license. If you only renew an existing FLOATALL, FLOATPC, FLOATNET,
or FLOATLNX license, your license support remains the same.
Software Guard, NIC ID, and Hard Disk
Serial Number
Q: How can I check if the Quartus II software recognizes my software guard
(T-guard), NIC ID, or hard disk serial number?
A: On the Tools menu, click License Setup and look under System info for
the Network Interface Card (NIC) ID, C: drive serial number, and Software
Guard ID. The Quartus II software versions 8.0 and later do not support the
software guard.
Q: Why does the Local System info section indicate Not found for the
software guard ID?
A: The Quartus II software versions 8.0 and later do not support a software
guard. If you are using the Quartus II software version 7.2 and earlier, the
Quartus II software indicates Not found if there are communication
problems with the parallel port. Try rebooting your computer with the
software guard attached to ensure that your computer recognizes the
software guard.
