You can check if Quartus picks your license correctly in the "License Setup...." window from the Tools menu.

You can also check the name of the generated .sof file. If it is something like "yourproject.sof" then the license was picked and used correctly, but if it is something like "yourproject_time_limited.sof" then the license wasn't used and you need to be tethered with the USB blaster to use the Nios CPU core.

Could you give the full error message you get, before "Downloading ELF Process failed"?
