Installing the MegaCore Function & Reference Designs/Demos

Altera recommends that you install the software that is on the
MAX II Development Kit CD-ROM. See

“Installing the MegaCore

Function & Reference Designs/Demos”

.

Quartus II software version 4.1 SP1 or later. See

“Installing the

Quartus II Software”

.

Important Considerations

You need your network identification card (NIC) ID for licensing the
Quartus II software.

Your NIC number is a 12-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the
Windows NT workstation that serves Quartus II licenses. Networked (or
floating node) licensing requires an NIC number or server host ID. When
obtaining a license file for network licensing, you should use the NIC
number from the PC that will issue the Quartus II licenses to distributed
users over a network. You can find the NIC number for your card by
typing ipconfig /all at a command prompt. Your NIC number is the
number on the physical address line, without the dashes.

You need administrative privileges to install the required software.
