With reference the above, I think I've solved the problem of not having a licence. The solution is below:
For anyone reading in the future, and if the link above is broken, go to Assignments (top menu)\Settings\Eda Tool Settings and set Simulation to "none". This removes the need for the licences components.

Well, If I use the prebuilt files shipped with the version 17.1 reference design then I can get my board to work with UDP (using this reference design below).
Unfortunately, the qsys file supplied will not regenerate (many errors), and the NIOS II build will not recompile (the par file seems to come with the eclipse project already built - the prebuilt files work, but the source code won't compile).
I'll keep you posted if I ever get it to work, but in the mean time it's also back to my original question , which is to ask if anyone knows of a sample project \ refence design that works ?
Thanks again
David
