Im using quartus ii 7.2 , schematic design. I have request a license from altera website and they sent to me .dat file and I have specified to the program. But  

when I compile the circuit I get this message: 

 

specified license is not valid for this machine 

 

Is that because I did something wrong, or I request was wrong. 

 

help me please.

Can you compile a simple "hello world" program (i.e. switching a led on and off). If not I´m quite sure you have a wrong license file. Maybe you put in the wrong MAC address. Other way round your project is too complex. Of course with a simple study license for free you don´t have all the features than with a full license.

So I don´t know if I´m right but it seems there is no .sof file. If this is right it is cause there is something wrong with your license file. Quartus compiles everything except these .sof files if you have no license file. Do you have more than one LAN adapter. You must choose the Ethernet adapter and not the Wireless adapter. Maybe thats the fault.
