Description I am trying to verify the status of Altera IP licenses I have that are perpetual licenses but are over 10yrs old. Please put me in contact with someone who can look me up as a customer and tell me about my licenses.

Hi Sir

Answer to your question:

1) Is it a perpetual license with maint until 7-31-2006 (Y/N)?

Y

2) You seem to be saying this license is only for NIOS I (classic), but I have the original sales slip for this purchase. It is clearly marked "NIOS II License Promo, IP-CORE-OB", and I used it for NIOS II designs. All the SW packages I was mailed by Altera during the maint period(5.0,5.1,6.0), are all for NIOS II. The license file has both FEATURE 6AF8_00A2 and FEATURE 6AF7_00A2. It would make sense that any license for NIOS II would also include NIOS I. So let me ask again, is the '4030 license you checked good for NIOS II (Y/N)?

Y

3) Altera upgraded licenses automatically during the 1yr maint period. I should have the right to use the full version tools for NIOS II, Quartus II, Megacore IP library, and ModelSim up to ver 6.0. Is this correct (Y/N)? If not, explain.

Y

4) Even though my full NIOS II license may be restricted to NIOS II 6.0, I seem to remember that I could use newer "web edition" versions of Quartus II (7.2 for instance) to compile my design, as long as the design was created using the 6.0 NIOS II tool. Is this still true (Y/N)?

Y, still true but not recommended as the license supported until Quartus v6.

5) If the above is true, what is the most recent version of each tool (NIOS II IDE, Megacore Library, Eclipse, Quartus II web/lite, ModelSim that I can use?

6) From what I have read, it is necessary to regenerate licenses every year for some of the legacy tools. I tried using the license regenerator link, but the generator "Failed to generate Legacy License" using the same NIC ID you already verified for me. Can you help me with this?

Which license regenerator link that you use? Could you provide the link?
