How to get again license file for old perpetual Quartus license?

Hello Farabi

Thanks so far, but there remain some troubles. There seems to be a misunderstanding on my side: I thought the company has purchased the NIOS II IP. However, my colleague told me now that he thinks that was included with Quartus Prime Lite Edition. So I tried to generate a license in the self-service center.

However, how do I find the license for NIOS II IP? According to the license file of my colleague, it is called shortly "Embedded IP Suite" and it is described as "license file for the Altera Embedded Suite which inlcudes Nios II Soft Processor MegaCore,Triple Speed Ethernet MAC, DDR2 SDRAM Controller supporting ALTMEMPHY, DDR3 SDRAM Controller supporting ALTMEMPHY, and new 16550 UART."

I just tried the "Intel® FPGA IP IP-NIOSVM", but it turned out to be for NIOS V M core, not for NIOS II.

**** How do I get the license for NIOS II IP and the associated "Embedded IP Suite"? ****

By the way, there is also the technical problem on www level (it was described similarly by someone else in the support forum): when I go to https://licensing.intel.com which gets soon modified to https://licensing.intel.com/psg/s/, and later to https://licensing.intel.com/psg/s/?language=en_US (despite I am not in USA, but attempts to change it to an appropriate geographic region are successful for a short time only, then it falls back to USA, even when I am continuously logged in -- but I hope that is not a relevant issue), Mozilla Firefox 103.0.2 (64 Bit) gets trapped in a loop of loading the page, clearing it, loading it again etc. At least, up to now, Microsoft Edge 104.0.1293.54 (64-Bit) does not show this behaviour. Hope I don't need to try another browser every new day...

Hello AR_A_Intel

For a short-term solution, I tried the proposed FPGA EVALUATION-LIC. It was successful for the Nios II, however, I still miss the TSE! Ok, for the moment, we can share the one machine with valid license. A longer-term solution must provide two independent workstations.

In the meantime, I found that the company bought IPS-EMBEDDED for approx. 1000$ years ago. (My colleague was convinced that it was included for free with some other software.) However, you @AR_A_Intel claimed here community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/Type-of-license-for-Quartus-Prime-Embedded-IP-Suite-Development/m-p/1348254#M3500 that "IPS-EMBEDDED (Nios® II Embedded Design Suite) included with all QUaetus edition and no additional licenses are required."

Is that true for Quartus Prime Lite too?

Are the licenses per company or per workstation?

An automatic e-mail message invited me to mark the accepted answer. But I am sorry, my problem is partly solved only. Has someone good answers to the remaining questions (from my message 08-18-2022

- IPS-EMBEDDED is included in Quartus Prime Standard. Is it also included in Quartus Prime Lite?

- Is "one" license for IPS-EMBEDDED (approx. 1000$) valid for the whole company or just for one Workstation?

Hello AR_A_

Thanks for the clarification. The document here https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/central-libraries/us/en/documents/quartus-prime-compare-editio... really says that the IPS-EMBEDDED is "supported", not "included", by the Quartus Prime Software.

I mark your last answer as "Accepted", but actually, it is not the answer to my original question -- that is because my original question was based on completely wrong assumptions. Now everything is clear!

We have two buy another license to use it on an additional device, because our original license is a fixed one.

Regards,

Thomas
