1.7. Connecting to the License Server

To connect the Intel® FPGA tool to the License Server:
  1. In the virtual machine with Intel® FPGA software, type: 
    LM_LICENSE_FILE=<port>@<private-ip-address-of-license-server>

    Intel® FPGA software uses the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable to specify license location.

  2. Optionally, in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software click Tools > License Setup.
    This pane displays the IP cores that the licensing server enables.
If the connection to the server works, designs that use the licensed IPs compile successfully.
