It is correct, I get message like this # 2010.12.07 17:26:53 (*) Generating HDL from CPU objects# 2010.12.07 17:27:03 (*) Creating encrypted HDL# 2010.12.07 17:27:07 (*) Done Nios II generation

This is the only part where it generates encrypted HDL in my project.

On the other note, when I check licensing info, I observe the following:

Altera (6AF7) Nios II Embedded Processor Encrypted output (00A2)

Altera (6AF7) Nios II Embedded Processor Clear Text output (00A5)

Both show as licensed.

Can I possibly switch to un-encrypted, and if YES, then how?

The only processor choice I have within project is (00A2) one. Does it make any sense?

Thanks again.
