Hi ZHE, Prior to Quartus version 8.1, license generation can be done from the below Legacy license generator software , https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/download/licensing/lic-choose.html Refer the below different Intel FPGA software license types & old forum thread, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/download/licensing/overview.html https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P0000470hlA/i-need-a-license-to-enable-the-design-security-feature-for-quartus-thank-yousoftware-quartus-prime-181-device-cyclone-v?language=en_US&s1oid=00DU0000000YT3c&s1nid=0DB0P000000U1Hq&emkind=chatterCommentNotification&s1uid=0050P000008ASID&emtm=1542241285784&fromEmail=1&s1ext=0 Please let me know if you come across different issue.

    Hi Vicky

    Thank you for you reply!

    I tried the legacy license generator, but the email says it cannot generate the license for the NIC I've provided.

    I am using Linux system and I got my NIC by running the command ifconfig. It gives me something like "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff". I remove the colon ":".

    Best Regards
