I solved the issue. In the active maintenance license page, even though the Nios license showed the correct primary computer, it was not being generated. I edited the license the Nios license settings primary computer setting to none, then back to my active computer; saved and generated a new license file. Now Quartus generates a .sof that is not time limited.
