We have a license server installed in a linux box with six licenses. Three members of my team access it by running quartus on their local boxes, by putting in the correct options in quartus.
Quite often, we have seen Quartus 8.0 sp1 hung after "Analysis & Synthesis" or "Fitter". e.g just now I ran Analysis & Synthesis on the megacore ddr2 controller design targeted for stratix II and I see the final message
Info: Quartus II Analysis & Synthesis was successful. 0 errors, 18 warnings
Info: Processing ended: Wed Nov 19 14:55:18 2008
Info: Elapsed time: 00:00:36
Info: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:3
However, the progress bar is still 92% and is stuck. Even clicking on stop button, does not release quartus from this step and I had to use the kill command.
I have added wait for license in the file
~/.altera.quartus/quartus2.ini
....
[General 8.0]
LICENSE_FILE =
1700@192.168.1.11 WAIT_FOR_LICENSE = on

Pleae share any debug info that might help in figuring out the source.
