Use LM_LICENSE_FILE variable:
If you turn on this option, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software uses the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to find the license file, and disables License Setup dialog box.
Note: By default, the license file
setting in the License Setup dialog box supersedes
the LM_LICENSE_FILE or ALTERAD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable setting.
To update the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable you must close the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
The syntax of the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable must follow the same rules than the License file dialog box.
