Altera Web Edition License File

For activating the software, please get a license file for your computer from Altera. If you fill out the form provided in the Altera web site, they will send you the License file. Follow the following steps to setup the license file.

Port Forwarding. Insecure TCP traffic is tunneled through a secure SSH tunnel. Shortly, port forwarding allows you to communicate with the license server to get licenses and run design tools locally on your own home computer. Lintula SSH Servers As indicated in picture above, all license requests must go through Lintula SSH server; direct connections to license server are not allowed due to security reasons. See the list of Lintula SSH servers.

You may use server mustatikli, or, if you do not have user account on those machines, any of the servers in public use. Port Forwarding There are several methods how to do port forwarding: • • • • Windows and SSH Note that the following describes only the settings that are needed for configuring tunneling, you may tweak other SSH settings as you like. First, create a new profile for licensing. Invoke SSH and select Profiles ->Add Profile. Vray Adv 3.00.08 For 3ds Max 2015. And name the new profile, for example, as mentor_licenses. Vendor Daemon Port Forward Settings Display Name vendordaemon Type TCP Listen Port 1734 Destination Host pikkutikli.cs.tut.fi Destination Port 1734 Now you have configured connection settings for the license profile. Next, you need to configure license settings so that design tools know how they can access licenses.

Setting the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE Environment Variable In order to use licensed software, you need to specify the location where tool can find licenses. This is done by setting the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environmental variable. Select Control Panel ->System ->Advanced tab ->Environment Variables button as shown below.

Then create a new variable called MGLS_LICENSE_FILE and set it point to 1717@localhost. The MGLS_LICENSE_FILE variable may be either User Variable or System Variable. System Variable Dialog Now the licensing should be ready and you may try invoking Mentor tools. When the tool needs a license, the requests are forwarded through the SSH tunnels between your machine and the license server. Note that before you can invoke Mentor tools, you must establish the SSH tunnels. Tunnels are established by invoking the SSH client and selecting the mentor_licensing profile. Windows and PuTTY You may also use any other SSH client supporting tunneling (such as ) to create SSH tunnels.

The following shows how to configure PuTTY to use port forwarding. Note that the following describes only the settings that are needed for configuring tunneling, you may tweak other PuTTY settings as you like.

First, create a new session profile. Set host name ( Host Name (or IP address); e.g. Kaarne.cs.tut.fi) and session name ( Saved Sessions; e.g. PuTTY Vendor Daemon Port Remember to save the session profile ( Session ->Save).

Next, you need to configure license settings so that design tools know how they can access licenses. Now the licensing should be ready and you may try invoking Mentor tools. When the tool needs a license, the requests are forwarded through the SSH tunnels between your machine and the license server. Note that before you can invoke Mentor tools, you must establish the SSH tunnels. Tunnels are established by invoking PuTTY and selecting the mentor_licensing profile. Windows and Command Line Enter the following command in Command Prompt, or, alternatively, create a.bat file that contains the following, and run it: $ ssh2 -L 1717:pikkutikli.cs.tut.fi:1717 -L 1734:pikkutikli.cs.tut.fi:1734 user@sshserver Replace user@sshserver with your Lintula username and SSH server.
