Hi Sir

Welcome to INTEL forum. Regarding license activation, the development kit comes with a serial number that is stated either on the box or a customer letter. You can check with the dealer where you purchased the development kit.

This serial number serves as a license activation code to activate your Quartus software license via the Self-Service Licensing Center. Check if the software DKE license is visible in the Products and Users View in Self-Service Licensing Center. If the license is visible, no activation is needed. You may proceed to create the new license file. If the license is not visible, the serial number will be the activation code for you to activate the license.

refer to our user guide.

    Thank you for the link. It was very helpful. I was able to access the Self-Service Licensing Center after completing the registration process. I've download a copy of Quarts Standard Edition version 20. My guess is that this is the correct replacement for the Quartus II Subscription Edition mentioned in User's Guide. If that is an incorrect version, please let me know.

    I'm now in the process of installing the dev board and software on a Linux server. If I have problems obtaining a license key, I'll follow-up with additional comment.

    Thank you for your help.

    Regards,

    Jerry
