Hi Sir

Welcome to INTEL forum. Yes, your understanding is correct. SW-QUARTUS-SE-FIX has been discontinued and replace by SW-ONE-QUARTUS. It’s a single ordering part number and the single OPN will have ALL the features of both PRO and Standard.

It is a flexibility for customer to choose Standard or Pro at the same cost. Customers can choose Float or Fixed in the Self-Service Licensing Center.

Greetings AR_A_Intel,

Thanks much for the reply, but I remain confused.

You write: "It is a flexibility for customer to choose Standard or Pro at the same cost. Customers can choose Float or Fixed in the Self-Service Licensing Center."

That suggests to me that when I buy a seat of that SW-ONE-QUARTUS part number, my developer, when he or she sets up Quartus, he or she has to pick between Standard or Pro?

Then, if you go pack to my original post, there is a screen-grab from your catalog which shows some features are only available in Standard, and others only available in Pro. Does that mean for each developer who needs features from both Standard and Pro I now have to buy TWO copies of that SW-ONE-QUARTUS part number?

Or, for each SW-ONE-QUARTUS part number, can the developer install BOTH Pro and Standard?

This is still very confusing.

Thanks much,

Ben
