Hi,


If the "Available Rehost" number is zero, do I have to buy another license? The license currently only has 1 "Available Rehost", so we can only change the primary PC one more time, right?

Check this link https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/Available-Rehost-limit/m-p/691221

If you want to reset rehost please provide the following (can provide via private mail):

  1. Email address
  2. If have multiple license tied to the account. specify which 2) license file


What about adding new seats to the floating license, if it is perpetual will we have an expiration date? in other words, would we lose the perpetual license by adding another seat?

Check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/24-3/adding-floating-seats.html

It'll only affect its maintenance expiration date.


Thanks,

Regards,

Sheng

    Hi,
    I would like to clarify a question regarding the rehost reset. If I have already performed this procedure three times, will there be any additional cost, or is it still free of charge? I apologize for asking so many questions, but I want to avoid unnecessary expenses for the company.

    Additionally, in the link you sent, I tried to find the section to request the rehost reset, but I couldn't locate it. The site indicated that I should look for "Contact Customer Service," but I couldn't find this option. Could you please inform me where exactly I should access this section?

    Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,

    Mario
