    Hi Nell,

    1. You can check the license status of all IP in an Intel Quartus Prime project by viewing the Assembler report and click Encrypted IP Cores Summary.
    2. Remove HDMI IP core from your qsys design and regenerate the system.and you have included .qip/.qsys file in your project befor compiling design delete db and incremental_db.

    Regards

Thank you, I found the problem.

The HDMI IP core was being included among the PD IP files. I had generated that a long time ago when I was experimenting; it hasn't been used for months but the file was still there, screwing things up even though it was not actually being used in the design. I removed it and now things are behaving as expected.
