The command aoc device/boardtest.cl --sw-dimm-partition -o bin/boardtest.aocx generates the message: Could not acquire a valid license for the Altera SDK for OpenCL and parser error details. Is it possible to get a trial license?

Hi amara5,

Referring to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/po/ss-quartus-comparison.pdf, Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL requires no additional licenses and it is supported with the Intel Quartus Prime Pro/Standard Edition software.

The version, v16.0 you are using is the older version. You are advised to use the latest version of the tool since no additional licenses are required in the newer version.

Thanks.
