When using Quartus® Prime (version 16.1 or later) with a floating license, the process of connecting to the license server port may take a long time due to network conditions, resulting in a timeout error and a failure to acquire the license. .
This phenomenon may occur under the environment of FLEXlm version 11.13.
In this case, use the system variable FLEXLM_TIMEOUT to set the timeout to 1 second.
The unit is microseconds.

FLEXLM_TIMEOUT=100000000

You can adjust this setting for your system.
The default value for FLEXLM_TIMEOUT is 100,000 microseconds and the range is 0 to 2147483647.
Also, FLEXLM_TIMEOUT is a Windows®-only system variable name.
No setting is required in normal network environments where latency (delay) does not occur.
