1.6.1. Specifying a Single User License
To license the Intel® FPGA software, you can direct the software to retrieve a license file automatically, or you can manually request a license file from the Intel FPGA Licensing Center
To obtain and specify a license file, follow these steps:
- Start the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. If the software does not detect a license, you are prompted to evaluate, license, or buy the software.
- Request a license file using one of the following methods:
- Select Perform automatic web license retrieval. The software attempts to retrieve the license automatically from www.altera.com.
- Request a license file from the Intel FPGA Licensing Center located at:https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/licensing.html
Note: The license request requires your computer network interface card (NIC) ID number.
If the Intel® Quartus® Prime software retrieves a fixed license file successfully, skip the remaining licensing steps and begin using the software. - If you request a license file from the Intel FPGA Licensing Center, Intel® emails you the license file text and an attached file. After obtaining the license email, use the attached license file to specify licensing settings in the Intel® Quartus® Prime License Setup (Tools > License Setup).
- In the License file box, specify the full path name of the license.dat file.
- Specify the host NIC ID, as Identifying Host's NIC ID describes.
- Click OK. You can begin using the software.
Figure 1. License Setup TabNote: If you do not receive a license email within 12 hours of the request, or if you require additional information to complete the process, login or register for a My-Intel account, and then submit a Support case requesting license support.
