USB download cable with Intel Max 10 - 10M08 Evaluation Kit

I would like to request data information about Intel Max 10 - 10M08 Evaluation Kit.
I saw that this evaluation board kit need to use Intel FPGA Download Cable : PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN for programming also.
I'm not sure that if I buy PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN then I can use it with evaluation kit immediately or not? It need to have a license or any thing that I need to know before?
Reason to ask this question because there are very different cost about this cable between Terasic and other supplier such as Digikey or Mouser. Which Terasic have cost cheap than other supplier. So, I don't sure with this cheaper cable it need to have other thing that I don't know or not?

      Terasic USB Blaster is a cheaper but 100 % compatible Version of original Altera/Intel USB Blaster. There are also very cheap USB Blaster clones on the market which are not fully driver compatible and often causing problems.
