    Hello NurAiman_M_Intel,

    Thank you for looking into this. The license file appears to have no expiration date (it is a perpetual license). The cost of a maintenance update to the license is $3500. Since I am a 69 year old retiree that is doing this FPGA work as a hobby (no commercial use, just my own free time), spending this kind of money makes no sense at all.

    Would Intel be willing to do a goodwill gesture and provide a reduced license fee for my personal use? All I need is support for a 20 year old board with a EP2AGX65DF25C4 Arria II GX part on it.

    Thank you,

    Robert Morrison
