Max10 Production License Requirements

Hi

Thanks for update. Answer to your question :

I already know that I can use Quartus Prime Lite Edition to compile without any license cost in Evaluation mode. But is it possible to use Quartus Prime Lite Edition to compile a project without any license cost in production mode (not in evaluation mode), simply by only using Intel IP Cores, which are usable without license costs? Or do I have to purchase at least the Intel IP base suite for any project compiled for production with Quartus Prime Lite?

1) Yes, you have to purchase at least the Intel IP base suite for project compiled for production with Quartus Prime Lite

Let's be a little bit more concrete: The compiler of Quartus Prime Lite does not generate a "<project name>_time_limited.sof" file for my project (which does not explicitly use any IP core listed to be contained in the Intel IP base suite). It only generates a "<project_name>.sof" file. So I expect the compiler not to run in evaluation mode, which is most likely the case because I do not use any Intel IP core with license costs involved. So, most likely, I do not have to purchase a full production license for anything from intel, and most likely I will be able to use "<project_name>.sof" without any time limitation for production.

Is this, most likely, without any guarantee, correct?

2) Yes.
