14 years agoQuestion about licenses in megawizard
Hello,
I have got simple question regarding licenses in megawizard. I am just starting with quartus software (and with the fpga as well) and when it comes to megawizard I am a bit confused. How can I check if I can use specific megafunction for free? I used ALTGX and I think this function has no time or any other restrictions. The same with some internal RAM functions. But then I used some ethernet functions and I am pretty sure it has restrictions. Is there some simple way to check, if I can use it for free or not? I mean before compilation. I will be really grateful fore some advices. best regards, Tomas2 Replies

in general a Megafunction is free and a MegaCore requires a license. both ALTGX and the internal memory Megafuctions are free
when in doubt, check the User Guide. if there isn't a section about licensing its probably free
