Licensing for quartus Prime Lite 17.0.2

[marie_toutain]

Hello, 

I'm using Quartus Prime Lite 17.0.2 on linux using command line.

When I want to compile (quartus_sh --flow compile project.qpf ) I receive the following error:

 Error (292025): License file is not specified.

I downloaded lic_daemon_lnx64.tar and then executed "./lmutil lmgrd " but I still have the problem.

On the intel website it's writting that the Quartus Prime Lite  after version 8 doesn't need license.

How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you,
Marie

Hello

Welcome to INTEL forum. From my understanding, the Quartus Lite/web Edition software requires no license, so it will continue working even License file is not specified. Please continue with the compilations and report to us back if the compilation is not successful with error message in Quartus.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

However, I'm always blocked by the license .

When I run global request and the compilation isn't sucessful: I obtain the following result and there is no output folder, the top_upp_amp.rbf is missing

intelFPGA_lite_adress/17.0/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --flow compile file_qpf_address/top_upp_amp.qpf

At the end of all these commands there is no output folder or rbf file.

Do you know how I can resolve this problem?

Hello,

I added the license following your message, I use nic adress to generate it.
I added license file to the folder /usr/local/flexlm/licenses.

Then I put the complet file name in LM_LICENSE_FILE and ALTERAD_LICENSE_FILE (/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/LR-150535_License.dat) I also try with the folder name in these aliases.
I run ./lmutil lmgrd
And then the project compilation commands: I obtained the same resulat as previously.
 

I executed the project in windows version quartus to compare: the compilation is OK.

But I need to be able to run quartus compilation via linux command line.
Miss I some steps to configure quartus with the licence?
