License file generated by SSLC missing host ID - License file generated by SSLC missing host ID My company is an ASAP partner, and we have been granted a partner license for Quartus. The license is present in SSLC. When I generate a license file by its activation code, the file I get does not contain the host ID that I have attached to the license, and therefore does not work. The email itself also does not contain this information. In the email: Products : Non-Commercial Software SW-PARTNER-IPA Primary Machine : christian_blixt Primary Machine ID : Host Type : In the attached license file: Fixed Node License # Primary Machine Name-christian_blixt # Primary Machine ID- I tried the ASAP portal support, but was redirected here. Anyone have an idea? Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID Understood that. Thanks for your sharing and great that your problem had been resolved. I'll close the case then. Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID I kind of assumed that you could not enter NIC ID manually. However, I noticed that the correct NIC ID actually already appeared in the new license file, just not in the header where I expected to find it. It does appear in every feature line though, and I guess that is what is important. The reason why I thought that the new license file did not work is that when I placed it in the same location as my old, about-to-expire, license file and pointed to it from the license setup within Quartus, it still showed the contents and expiry date of the old file. When I moved away my old license file to another location, Quartus shows the content and expiry date of the new license file. Case closed, I guess, but it sure is a confusing procedure. Thank you for your help. Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID Could you try to fill up host and nic id in the license file does it helps? Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID I don't know to what extent the licenses are similar. There is no 90-day time limit on the partner license, that's a difference.

Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID I applied for the license on the ASAP portal. There was no named individual involved in that process. When that did not work out as I expected, I put in a help request at the portal. This lead to the following conversation: Me: I have requested a parner license for Quartus, and the request has been approved (PLR-0000132). How do I proceed to generate the license? ASAP: I have noticed that the license has already been generated. And you will receive an email for the same just saying the license has been generated. Now, you need to log in to SSLC and activate the license. Me: I have not received an email yet at least. But I understand it as I don't need to wait for that, but should be able to "activate" the license now. I logged in to SSLC [proceeds to describe the issue above] What did I do wrong? Is there a description somewhere of this process? It is far from obvious. ASAP: If you need any support regarding the Licenses, please reach out to Altera Community Forums [...] Altera application engineers monitor the forums and provide assistance. [...] "ASAP" above is a named individual, but it doesn't feel right to post the name here. The email conversation has been with portalsupport@altera.com with CC to alteraprod1@service-now.com. Clearly the ASAP people are directing me to you, Altera application engineers at the forums. I will try to contact ASAP again and refer to this conversation. Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID May I know who grant the license to you. Could you try contact him? I can't access the ASAP Program Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID It's a partner license. Obtained through the ASAP program. Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID May I know is purchased license? Replies: Re: License file generated by SSLC missing host ID I tried again, same result. Here is what I do. I have set up a computer, like so: The Primary Computer ID matches the NIC ID of the computer I want to use the license on. I have located the license, and attached the computer above to it: If I go to the computer/host entry and look at the entitlements tab, I find the license above there, complete with the same activation code. Everything looks alright. Next, I go to Find and Generate License by Activation Code, enter the activation code from above and click Search, select the license that appears and click Next, then I arrive at this: Where I, after confirming that the existing computer is the right one, click Generate. Then it says that my license file has been generated and will be emailed to me shortly. Short thereafter I get an email with an attached license file (I'm up to four attempts now), but both the email and license file are blank in the Host Type/Primary Machine ID sections as shown above.
