How to generate the niosv_g in batch?

In a continuous integration flow I usually check in only the "*.ip" files in git and then build the files for synthesis and simulation on demand using qsys-generate. When I do this for NIOS-V I get ...

    My last problem was resolved when I obtained a "M" core license as well. It seems like Quartus will not generate a sof file unless a license for both "M" and "G" core are installed, even when instantiating a single "G" core only.

This appears to be related to the license setup. If I set the LM_LICENSE_FILE to point at the correct license file I was able to build the implementation and simulation related files using qsys-generate. However, it appears a different license is required to implement the design as I now get:

Error (23714): Can not generate programming files for your current project because you do not have a valid license. Visit the Intel FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center at https://licensing.intel.com

    Warning (115005): Unlicensed IP: "Nios V Soft Processor FPGA IP - M Core (6AF7 D036)"


Is there an additional license required in order to build a sof file for the NIOS V?
