Hi Sir

Welcome to INTEL forum. I’m not sure on 2) Named academic user. Based on my understanding, you choose between a single user license that is fixed to a specific computer, or a multi-user floating license.

• Fixed license—A stand-alone (node-locked, single-user) license is tied to the

network interface card (NIC) ID of the computer on which you installed the

software.

• Floating license—A floating network (multi-user) license is for users running the

Intel Quartus Prime software on multiple computers connected on a network. A

license server issues licenses to computers on demand. Floating licenses are not

specific to an operating system. If you want to run the FPGA software on

additional computers, you can purchase additional seats to add to your floating

license after its original purchase.
