MAX+PLUS II License Issue

[robbson25]

Hello everyone,
I have a license tied to a MAC card and I can't open or create a graphic project.

 

Has anyone had a similar problem and knows a solution?

I am also trying to create a license for the HDD ID but the serial number (A0AD-C7C0) is not accepted, should be in should be in Eight hexadecimal digits format.

How can I get a license based on my HDD ID number?

Regards,

R.

I can't help you with the MAX+PLUS stuff (why do you need to run ancient software instead of Quartus?), but for creating a license, you've selected a NIC ID (a MAC address tied to a network connection).  As such, that has to be a 12 digit hex number.  I've never heard of tying a license to a hard drive serial number.

Hello sstrell,

I have many projects created in "old" MAX+PLUS that's why I asked about license for it.

I will install Quartus and check if I can import my projects.

Then you are too young, or at least you haven't used Quartus for so long ago Older Quartus versions definitely used the Hard Disk serial number for licensing.  Remember that at that time motherboards didn't use to come with a built-in NIC. I'm quite sure that, at least, Quartus 6 supported hard disk serial numbers. Don't remember when this changed.
