openCL SDK and Quartus Prime Lite

Hello,

in the Quartus Prime documentation, it is listed that the openCL SDK is only available with the Standard and Pro edition. However, I've seen this community post that says it is possible to use the Lite version with the openCL SDK as long as we obtain a license for the openCL SDK. I've not been able to find much information for requesting a license, and there is also the issue of the discontinuation notice. Could you help guide me to the correct page, support category or contact info that might be able to resolve this?

links to the mentioned posts: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Quartus-Prime-Lite-OpenCL-Licensing/td-p/229387 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/738067/pdn-2219-intel-is-discontinuing-the-following-software-ordering-codes.html

    Hi @marko2,


    Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

    Unfortunately short answer is, license are still required to use the Intel Opencl with quartus lite.

    Hence you can start of with the trial license per mention.


    On the other hand, yes openCL are in the deprecating path as mention by the discontinuation notice.

    Go to or replacement for that would be the Intel oneAPI, more details can be found below:

    If you are unfamiliar with Intel oneAPI product, here are also a video which will be helpful to get the overall understanding on the product:

    Hi @marko2,


    For the Opencl license, allow me to check this internally and get back with that information.

    Thank you for the patients.
