OpenCL License Issues

[Altera_Forum]

It would seem I may be having issues with my OpenCL License. 

 All of the features in the license file show up as valid in Quartus EXCEPT openCL, but  lmutil reports the OpenCL license as valid on the current machine "TS_OK".  However when I run "aoc myKernel.cl" I get the error:  "Could not acquire OpenCL SDK license"   Any suggestions? Should the OpenCL Feature get reported in the Quartus "License Setup" Dialog?

Have you set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable as directed in the documentation?

[Altera_Forum]

Yes, it is set to the correct license file.  

 Quartus is set to use the variable and sees all of the other features.

Which OS? Floating or node locked?

[Altera_Forum]

64 Bit RHEL 5.8, node locked (though I did try and get lmgrd to pick up the license to see if that helped, it did not). 

 Does the OpenCL feature show up in your quartus license dialog?

Do you have multiple ethernet interfaces? Which interface is the license bound to? Quartus has no knowledge of OpenCL or its licensing system. The only way OpenCL licenses are set up is using the FlexLM system and making sure the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable is set. This should be described in the documentation:

I have multiple interfaces. It is bound to the second eth1 (second ethernet port).

You have to use the primary Ethernet interface (eth0) on Linux due to how the licensing system works. This is a known issue and hopefully there will be a solution at some point.
