4.3.3. Set Up a Fixed License
To set up a fixed license file (single user, single computer):
- Create a security copy of any existing license.dat file.
- Save the license.dat file on your local hard drive. The preferred location is:
- Linux:
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses
- Windows:
C:\licenses\flexlm
Note: If you save the file in other location, make sure that the path contains only alphanumeric characters, and do not include any special characters or symbols, such as !$%^&*<>, empty spaces, or non-English characters. - Linux:
- Start the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
If the Intel® Quartus® Prime software cannot detect a valid license file, the License Setup Required dialog box prompts you to license, evaluate, or buy the software.Figure 1. License Setup Required Dialog Box
- Select If you have a valid license file, specify the location of your license file, and click OK.
The License Setup page on the Options dialog box appears.
- In the License file box, specify the full path name of the license.dat file, and click OK.
Alternatively, you can specify the license file location by using the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. However, the location that you specify in the License Setup dialog box supersedes LM_LICENSE_FILE.
