Which version of the NIOS2 processor are you using - NIOS2 - e/f? The 'e' variant is free while the 'f' is licensed. If you do not have a license for the NIOS2/f variant, then change it to NIOS2/e and compile. It should work.

    I do have Nios license. And when running assembler, quartus will require twice with 1 successful and 1 unsuccessful.
