NEEK deveopment kit

Hi everyone here....

I am new to FPGA domain having background in Micrcontroller system development.

So I need help from you.

To start over with FPGA development, I have decided to buy NEEK cyclone III kit n2eval-3c25n.

i have confusion regarding ip core license.

what does it mean exactly?

do i need to purchase separately or is it already come with the development kit?

thanks.

    i'm not sure if the NEEK includes a Nios II license, i don't think so

    in QII 9.1 and later, you can use the Nios II/e without a license. you can evaluate the other Nios II flavors with OpenCore Plus which allows unlimited evaluation while you are tethered by JTAG, or an hour if you don't have the programming cable plugged in

    most IP also supports OpenCore Plus so you can try it before you buy the license
