aoc reports Can't find a valid license for the Altera SDK for OpenCL

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,  

 I am starting to compile OpenCL codes under Quartus 13.1.  I am using the folowing command to compile the openCL demo code  aoc device/hello_world.cl -o bin/hello_world.aocx -v --board pcie385n_d5  (we have the Nallatech 385 card).  and I'm am getting the following error message.   Error: aoc: Can't find a valid license for the Altera SDK for OpenCL  Our system is a linux64/CentOS, with a networked license for Quarus 13.1. LM_LICENSE_FILE is set to point to the license server port_ID@<IP> Quartus runs fine, it sees the licenses under the tools -> license setup tab displays licensed IPs. Quartus installation was a complete installaion, so  I assum it includes the OpenCL functionalities.  My questions are: 1) In Quartus-II --> tools -> license_setup are we expecting to see OpenCL lincensing status?.  (I don't see OpenCL listed there) 2) aoc uses LM_LICENSE_FILE or something else to know the license place?.  3) Am I missing some setup?   I will appreciate receiving your suggestions to further in compiling the OpenCL codes using Quartus 13.1.  We have to stay with Quartus 13.1, because of the the BSP.  -Prabu

You mentioned you have a quartus license. Does that file that support OpenCL? I wasn't able to find any useful openCL info when looking in quartus setup. I would open up the license file and see if you have OpenCL as a feature.  

 I don't have any experience with a network license but usually when I get that error and I am certain my environment is set properly, I accidently ran on a machine that doesn't match the MAC for the altera license. (I ssh into multiple machines and simply run the command in the wrong window.) I would make sure that your mac matches the one in the license file.   Also, what build of Quartus 13.1 are you using? I ask because I am using Nallatech 395 and I had problems compiling on 13.1 after build 162. (I think it was patch 2???) I spoke with Nallatech and they informed me that 162 was the latest build they supported. I don't know if that has since been addressed. I have moved on to 14 where I can compile again.   Hope this helps. Rudy
