Go here.
http://www.altera.com/ Upper right corner says Licensing. Next page says; Get My License File Get licenses for Altera® software, IP, and development kits. Click into that link. A little down the page are instructions for getting Dev Kit licenses. Thanks - Altera_Forum

Make sure to not miss the moment the limited version expires to extend it for another year for a reduced price. After this extension, it will be useable forever.

Hi tschaggelar,
You mentioned an extension. How does it work? At the end of my one-year license period, where can I get an extension of that license? --- Quote Start --- Make sure to not miss the moment the limited version expires to extend it for another year for a reduced price.

After that extension, the license is perpetual? no more extension cost involved? - Altera_Forum

After 1 year. your license will expire, and you will need to renew it.
If you use the certificate, then you can get a full version (and full license) for a reduced price. The current deal with Kit version fo the Quartus tools is that they come with a 1 year, then it dies license. THis is different then the Full Subscription version fo the tool or the Free WEB version fo the tool. Free WEB version - limited parts set. Kit version - Full version with 1 year limit on license - hard stop Full Version - all parts and a few more features - license for 1 year, then you can extend with NO new features (parts) perpetually or resubscribe (re-up) each year. - Altera_Forum

Thanks. I wish this info would be made clearer, as clear as Avatar has explained, in the product page in the web site.
