Nios can be used in any edition of Quartus. What is your target device family?

    Yes it's true that NIOS can be used in any version of Quartus.

    I meant it seems you can't add the license for NIOS II (f) into a free version of Quartus as long as it lacks the license functionality. It's not 100% though.

    Two persons from two different official distributors (from different countries) told me that.

    Maybe the Intel employee will confirm it as well soon.

    The only thing I still don't understand why there is no information about that all. Because it's quite critical information.
