your computer and use the License Setup page of the Options dialog box in the
Quartus II software to enable the software.

To license the Quartus II software, you need your computer’s network interface
card (NIC) ID, a number that uniquely identifies your computer. On the computer
you use to run the Quartus II software, type ipconfig /all at a command prompt
to determine the NIC ID. Your NIC ID is the 12-digit hexadecimal number on the
Physical Address

line.
