DE1SOC OpenCL License file

I am trying to order a TeraAsic DE1-SOC for learning OpenCL for FPGA. Before ordering the kit, I wanted to know if the OpenCL license for this board is an additional purchase or is bundled with the Kit?

DE5 Kit needs a separate purchase of the OpenCL license, but is ambiguous for DE1SOC.

Appreciate the help.

    Need to buy from Altera or Terasic?

    Altera opencl SDK price is $995 (i assume this is the license). Seems expensive for a $250 board.

    It also does not work with the web edition (installer complains about incorrect version) so you will need a full edition of Quartus as well.

    $4k for a $250 board.
