Quartus Prime 18.1 Standard edition cannot find network licence, but Pro edition does.

Quartus Prime Pro 18.1 works fine on our floating licence. Standard edition cannot find the licence server at all. Therefore we are having to use older version of Quartus II to support legacy devices. Looking at your website it seems to infer that if you have Pro licence you get Standard as part of the package. Why does ours not support standard edition?

adding
