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

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
