Licensing the Quartus II Software
This section describes how to license the Quartus II software. To set up your license for the Quartus II software, you must perform the following steps, each of which is described in more detail in this section: 1. If necessary, obtain a license file. The Quartus II software requires a valid, unexpired license.dat license file for each server that supports a network (multiuser) license or for each node-locked (single-user) license. This same license file can also enable the additional Altera synthesis and simulation tools included with Altera software subscriptions, as well as the MAX+PLUS® II software. If you are using a network license, set up and configure the FLEXlm license manager server. Specify the location of the license file. If necessary, register additional Quartus II users.
Obtaining a License File
You can obtain an ASCII license file, license.dat, from the Licensing section of the Altera web site at http://www.altera.com if you have the following information:
Your Altera ID, which is a six-digit number that is provided when you purchase the Quartus II development system. This number is listed on the packing list that is shipped with the Quartus II software. Your serial number, which can be one of the following numbers: - If you have a network (multiuser) license version of the Quartus II software, the serial number is printed on the side of the Quartus II shipping box, and on the Registration & License File Request Form, which is also included with the Quartus II software package. This number begins with the letter G, and is followed by five digits (Gxxxxx).
Altera Corporation
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs
If you have a node-locked (single-user) version of the Quartus II software, the serial number is the number on your Software Guard. This number begins with the letter T.
For information about additional methods of finding your NIC number, refer to the Solutions Database, which is available from the Support section of the Altera web site at http://www.altera.com. For complete information about using the FLEXlm utilities, you should refer to the FLEXlm End Users Guide, which is available at http://www.globetrotter.com / manual.htm. To obtain a license file, follow these steps: 1. Point your web browser to the Altera web site at http://www.altera.com. Click the Licensing icon. Specify the requested information. 1 Altera recommends that you save any previous license.dat file in a temporary directory, in case you need to refer to it later.
Figure 1 on page 10 shows the Quartus II FEATURE line of a sample license file for a node-locked (single-user) license that uses a Software Guard.

If you are using the Quartus II software with a node-locked (single-user) license, skip to "Installing a Sentinel Software Guard" on page 13.
Obtaining a Redundant Server License File
The FLEXlm licensing scheme allows you to set up three redundant license servers to serve a network (multiuser) license. You can obtain a license file to support three redundant license servers by performing the steps described in "Obtaining a License File" on page 8. Figure 3 shows a sample redundant server license file.

For additional information about setting up and administering license servers, including setting up three redundant license servers, refer to the FLEXlm End Users Guide, which is available at http://www.globetrotter.com / manual.htm.
Specifying an Optional Port Number
System administrators can specify a port number in the license.dat file for use by the license server and client PCs. If a port number is not specified in the license.dat file, the FLEXlm utility automatically uses the next available port number in the range 27000 to 27009. However, to prevent port number conflicts, you can specify a port number. If three redundant license servers are being used, you must specify a port number. For more information about redundant license servers, see "Obtaining a Redundant Server License File" on page 10. F or PC-based license servers, Altera recommends that you specify a port number in the range of 27000-27009. However, you can use any unused port number between 0 and 64000.

Setting Up a License Manager Server Under Windows NT or Windows 2000
This section provides instructions for setting up the FLEXlm license manager server on a PC running Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. A system administrator should perform these steps to configure license servers after the Quartus II software is installed. 1 If you have a node-locked (single-user) license, you can skip this section and go to "Installing a Sentinel Software Guard" on page 13.
Altera Corporation
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs
Setting up the Altera License Manager as a service allows licenses to be issued to other users after you have logged out of a Windows NT session. 8. If you want the Altera License Manager to start automatically when you start your PC, turn on Start Server at Power-Up. Click the Control tab. This tab allows you to start, stop, and check the status of your license server. In the Control tab, click Start to turn on your license server and launch the Altera License Manager as a background application.
After the license manager server has been set up in Windows NT, the license file must be specified for each client. Refer to "Specifying the License File" on page 16 for instructions on how to specify a license file. f For complete information about using the FLEXlm utilities to administer and troubleshoot the FLEXlm License Manager software, refer to the FLEXlm End Users Guide, which is available at http://www.globetrotter.com / manual.htm.
Installing a Sentinel Software Guard
If your Quartus II development system includes a Sentinel Software Guard, you must install the Sentinel driver and the Software Guard before you can specify a license file.
Installing the Sentinel Driver
The Sentinel driver is required for all Quartus II software systems running on Windows NT that use a Software Guard. The Sentinel driver is installed automatically with the Quartus II software. 1 1. Sentinel driver installation is optional on Windows 98 and Windows 2000 systems. Install the Sentinel driver only if you are using the parallel port with another device, such as a printer.
Altera Corporation
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs
Installing the Sentinel driver on a Windows NT system requires that you have system administration (Administrator) privileges.
Installing the Software Guard
To install the Software Guard on a PC, follow these steps: 1. Locate a parallel printer port (that is, an LPT port) on the computer. If you have a printer connected to this port, you must disconnect it temporarily. Insert the 25-pin male connector end of the Software Guard into the 25-pin female connector of the parallel printer port, as shown in Figure 4.
Altera Corporation
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs
Do not connect disk drives that use the parallel port or any device, other than a printer or the ByteBlasterMV download cable, to either end of the Software Guard. Disk drives can destroy a Software Guard by drawing more power than the guard is capable of handling. Disconnect the Software Guard before using the parallel port to transfer data between computers using a data transfer program. Failure to do so can cause damage to the Software Guard.
