Hi,
You can eliminate the error by using the EPFL VPN and adding a license server to quartus when you compile.
The license server we use is "1719@lamipc54.epfl.ch". You'll need to add this to the quartus GUI if you compile graphically. If compiling from the command line, you need to export an environment variable. The following one should work on linux systems:
export ALTERAD_LICENSE_FILE="1719@lamipc54.epfl.ch"
