Intel®
and
third-party software use the LM_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable to specify the locations of license files or license
servers.
For example, both the
Quartus® Prime
software and the Siemens® EDA software use the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable to specify the locations of their
licenses.
Note: The time
it takes for your development machine to communicate with the license server
directly affects compilation time. If your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable setting includes paths to many
license servers, or if the license server is hosted in a distant locale, you will
notice a significant increase in compilation time.
On Linux or UNIX systems, insert a colon (:) after each license file or license server location that you append to the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.
On Windows systems, insert a semicolon (;) after each license file or license server location that you append to the LM_LICENSE FILE environment variable.
Note: When modifying the LM_LICENSE_FILE setting to include the locations of
your software licenses, do not remove any existing license locations appended to the
variable.
