In the Control Panel window, double-click the System Control Panel icon. 2. Click the Performance tab. 3. Click Change. 4. Select the drive you want to use for virtual memory. 5. Increase the values in the Initial Size and Maximum Size boxes. 6. Click Set. 7. Click OK. You must restart your computer for the new settings to take effect. Windows 2000 1. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System Control Panel icon. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Click Performance Options. 4. Click Change. 5. Select the drive you want to use for virtual memory. 6. Increase the values in the Initial Size and Maximum Size boxes. 7. Click Set. 8. Click OK. You must restart your computer for the new settings to take effect. Internet Browser Requirements ============================= The PC version of the Quartus II software requires Internet Explorer software version 5.0 or later to function correctly. If you have Internet Explorer version 3.x, the Quartus II software can run, but online Help is not available. If you do not have Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later, please install Internet Explorer before running the Quartus II software. It is not necessary to make the Internet Explorer browser your default browser in order for all the Quartus II software features to function. However, you may need to configure the Internet Explorer software to work with your company network. For example, you may need to configure for a dial-up connection or for a proxy server. FLEXlm Software Requirements ============================ The Quartus II software uses the FLEXlm license server software to support network (multiuser) licensing. If it is not installed, the Quartus II installation process installs it automatically. However, if you already have FLEXlm license server software installed for an application other than the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS(R) II software, you should verify that the version is 8.0 or later. NOTE: This procedure is not necessary if you are using a FIXEDPC (node-locked) license. To determine the version of the lmgrd and alterad daemons type the following commands at a command prompt on the computer running the FLEXlm license server: <path to flexlm>\lmgrd -v <Return> <path to flexlm>\alterad -v <Return> If the lmgrd and/or alterad daemons are not from the FLEXlm software version 8.0 or later, both the lmgrd and alterad daemons must be upgraded with the versions provided in this installation of the Quartus II 4.0 software. The current version of the daemons are installed in the following location: <path to Quartus II 4.0>\bin\alterad <path to Quartus II 4.0>\bin\lmgrd To upgrade, first make a backup copy of the lmgrd and alterad executables you are currently using. Then copy the new versions of the files to the computer running the license server over the daemons you are currently using (this may require shutting down the license server software). In additon to the daemons, also copy the FLEXlm software utility "lmutil" from the Quartus II 4.0 installation directory to the license server computer. Then restart the license server by typing the following commands at a command prompt: <path to flexlm>\lmutil lmdown -c <path to license file> <Return> <path to flexlm>\lmgrd -c <path to license file> [ -l <path to optional log> ] <Return> Please see the "Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs" manual for more information on upgrading the license server software tools. Installing the Software ======================= To install the Quartus II software, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Quartus II CD into your CD-ROM drive. The Quartus II Setup program window appears automatically. 2. Click the Install Quartus II and Related Software button. The
