Hello, The company where I work purchased a perpetual Quartus license in 2016. I assume it is not linked to the self-service licensing centre. In 2021, we got an additional license file for an ad...

    Hi

    Apologize for the inconvenience and delay in response since I was out of office recently.

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

    The "one" license has 2 types, floating and fixed. Depend on license type customer use. Fixed license is for 1 device per use (tie to one device). Floating licenses depend on number of seat that customer buy. no limitation on number of seats that customer can purchase.

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

    The IPS-EMBEDDED is referring to (Nios® II Embedded Design Suite) only. Can refer here https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/central-libraries/us/en/documents/quartus-prime-compare-editions-guide.pdf sorry if the statement confused.

    Hope this clarify. Thanks

Alternative you could apply an Intel 90-Day Evaluation License that come with NIOS ll. Login to Intel® FPGA Self Service Licensing Center and request the Quartus evaluation free license here https://licensing.intel.com/

1) Go to Sign up for Evaluation or Free licenses

2) Select Intel® FPGA EVALUATION-LIC

3) # of Seats is always 1

4) Check the T&C box

5) Add the required options

6) Click Get License button

The license will be sent to email that you register with

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?
