Dear Comp.Arch.Fpga

I was just trying to get a license key for Quartus II Web Edition. It
tells me that I need to provide a NIC to get the license key:
*
Network Interface Card Number:*Your NIC number is a 12-digit
hexadecimal number >that identifying the Windows workstation that serves
Click to expand...
the Quartus II Web Edition license. >You can find the NIC number for
your network card by typing ipconfig /all at a command >prompt. Your NIC
number is the number on the physical address line, minus the dashes,
for example, 00C04FA392EF
Click to expand...
Does this mean that I should install an ethernet card? Also I don't
understand "Windows workstation that serves the Quartus II Web Edition
license". Does this mean I need a network of several machines to use
Quartus II?

Your help is appreciated,

Florian
 
You do not need a network. However you do need to install Ethernet card, to
get the NIC number. The NIC number is used to generate the license for your
computer.

IIRC, windows 2000 needs that NIC to be connected to a network in order to make
the serial number available to the computer. I recall someone doing something
with a loopback connector to make it appear.

When I do work offsite I take a small 5 port switch with me. Plugging my
PC's network cable into the switch causes the NIC to be active and available
for licensing software.

No, it does not. Not really.
You have to change/add a registry key :


HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\parameters\
new DWORD : DisableDHCPMediaSense assign =1
