Question about License?

Hi :):),

My problem is when i try to recompile the project given by Stratix IV "board_update_portal" with a just change in PLL ( increase the frequency).

I constate that the changement not taken it consideration, As i mentionned in

My question Now this problem dues to the License or NO?

I note that i use a evaluation quartus 9.1.

Thanks

    If the design is using some opencore IP for which you don't have the license, it will create a time limited FPGA image. If your project is called myfpga, the resulting programming file will be called myfpga_time_limited.sof instead of just myfpga.sof.

    Thanks for you reply Daixiwen

    In my SOPC there are some IP core as CPU, PLL, ...etc.

    As i said: i use a evaluation version. On the resulting program i don't obtained _time_limited.sof.:(

    does the modified date on the resulting .sof file change, and does it reflect the actual compilation time?
