5.4.4.2. Launch the Licensing Server
The Intel® Quartus® Prime software administers licensing for single or multiple users in a network installation with the FLEXlm license manager software.
The requisites to configure a new license server are:
- System administration (Administrator) privileges.
- A valid license.dat license file.
- (Linux only) To run the FLEXlm lmgrd license server manager, make sure that the /usr/tmp directory exists.
To launch a new license server:
At a command prompt, type:
- Windows*
<installation-directory>\bin64\lmgrd -c \path\to\license.dat
- Linux:
<installation-directory>/linux/lmgrd -c /path/to/license.dat
For more information about using the license manager server, refer to Configuring the License Manager Server.
