Cannot generate license for DS-5 Community Edition

I am using DE10-Nano to get started with Cyclone V. I have installed SoCEDS 18.1 (Standard) and would like to issue a license for DS-5 Community Edition. I'm clicking the link to get the activation code from the site below, but the link is 404.

https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/soceds/18.1/?edition=standard&platform=linux&download_manager=direct

When I go to the Arm site, the site asks for my serial number and Mac address, but I can't proceed because I don't have the serial number. How should I solve it?

    Hi

    Yes, for Community Edition you could obtain an evaluation license, continue with steps 2 as provided in license setup.

      Hi,

      This looks like the new DS-5. Should I install a new DS-5 without using the DS-5 installed with SoC EDS 18.1?

      Also, should I remove the DS-5 installed with SoC EDS 18.1? Installing both DS-5s consumes a lot of storage,

      so I would like to choose one DS-5 if possible.

      I want to know the correct steps to build a development environment with SoC EDS 18.1 and the new DS-5.

      Also, I would like to try the free Community Edition first.

      Can I use this new DS-5 for free?

      Best regards,

      Best regards,
