Altera Licencing

[Altera_Forum]

I have Quartus II Web Edition installed on Ubuntu 8.04 

 EVERY time I start the program, it asks me for the location for the licence!!  The licence works fine so why does it ask me every time I open the program?  I have set the privileges on the folder from root to user but that didn't help

Did you set up the path to the licence file under Tools/License Setup?

I believe that only full version (not web version) was allowed on Linux platforms. I have Quartus II 9.0 (full edition) running on Ununtu 9.04. I simply point to the license location in Tools -> License setup -> License File.

I have a 6 month student licence.  I am going to try and do a re-install and see if that fixes the problem

I re-installed but still have the same problem.....

try pointing to the license in the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

It just keeps searching.......................

check in Tools => License Setup that the MAC address that Quartus matches your license file.

Everytime I start Quartus, it asks me for a licence.   I select; "If you have valid licence, specify the location......"  and the file path IS already sepcified!

maybe u have a "spacebar" in ur license file path. try moving it to c:\altera\****.dat worked out for me

[Altera_Forum]

looks like the license file location is stored in ~/.altera.quartus/quartus2.ini. try taking a look at whether this gets written, maybe there are some permissions issues.

[Altera_Forum]

I cannot find that file 

 The ENTIRE installation folder has read/write permissions for the user
