    A Pro license should let you use Standard or Pro. Pro is just a feature line in the license on top of Standard. You can install both versions on the same computer.

    Pro is a separate branch of the tool meant for high-end devices. That's why it only supports the GX and not the LP, which are both Cyclone 10 devices by name, but include different feature sets.

    Arria 10 happens to be the only device family fully supported in both Standard and Pro, FYI.

Having to install both Quartus Pro and Quartus Standard Development tools simultaneously, with only one upgraded license to manage both sets of tools was where the uncertainty was when reading the details on the Quartus download page and associated FPGA Device Support.

Thanks for clarifying how that mechanism works.
