Hi Phil,

for Cyclone III designs, you can use Quartus 13.1 Web Edition without a license for everything including Signaltap. Only licensed IP, e.g. PCI compiler isn't available without a respective license. Most IP is contained in IP Base suite bundled with Quartus subspription license. Means if you have a recent Quartus license, it also enables licensed Quartus 13.1 features. 

PCI compiler is legacy IP, I'm not sure if respective license (e.g. 6AF7 0022, 32-bit Master/Target) is still contained in IP Base suite or must be purchased seperately. 

Regards
Frank

    It seems I am blocked from generating RBF files because I have the time-limited PCI feature in my design.  From what I just read, it needs to be purchased separately.

    Where can I purchase it? I attempted to run my build with a recently generated Quartus Prime evaluation license but that didn't work
