Why would changing the floating license port from 1819 to 1820 speed up Quartus compileing times?

you could try lmutil lmstat -a -c port@server with the bad port and good port and see if the server has a bit of latency on the bad port

Here is the result of that;

The problem comes when students change this port (see below), then ModelSim does not work;
Prof., After some digging around, it seems that editing the license file prevents quartus from long delays before it will compile. (Perhaps it tries to ping the wrong server at first?) I opened up c:\altera\license.dat in a text editor and changed the last number on the first line from 1819 to 1820 The file now reads: > SERVER licsrv.engineering.cornell.edu 00505694574A 1820 USE_SERVER > This seems to have shaved a full minute off the compile time (a factor of 2 speedup for the last project)- Mark as New

Choon Lee,
We found the answer. Change the license.dat on the client computer to point to port 1820 (for Quartus compile speedup) . Then, change the ENV variable on the client computer to point to port 1819 (for ModelSim license). Compile speeds are down to ~30 seconds, and ModelSim can find it's license. All works fine now. Thank you, Doug- Mark as New

License.dat file;
SERVER [license.server.name] [MAC address of license svr] 1820 USE_SERVER MGLS_LICENSE_FILE; 1819[at-sign][license.server.name]
