Generate an IP core using Quartus Standard Edition 30-days evaluation period

Hi,

I have experience with other FPGA manufacturer and respective tools an now I have to send my VHDL code to other entity/person that will run in an INTEL FPGA (Stratix IV).

That entity/person has knowledge in INTEL FPGAs and respective tools but I do not intend to send directly the source code, which was written in pure VHDL.

Since in the near future I do not see that need to work with INTEL FPGAs, I was thinking the following:

To use the Intel Quartus Prime Standard Edition but just the 30-days evaluation period to generate an IP core from my VHDL code;

- Is it possible?

- Being the IP core generated with Quartus evaluation license, will the generated IP has any limitation (in period of time, or other) ? So, is it possible the to use the generated IP core forever ?

- Since, I do not intend to provide the source code, is it possible to encrypt/lock the IP core (even with the Quartus evaluation license) ?

Is there any documentation related with this issue, namely limitations with the Quartus 30-days evaluation period and the generation of our own IP cores ?

Thanks in advance.
