Good morning

Thank you for replying, unfortunately the information provided does not help with my question.

I already pay for a floating licence for the Quartus standard product and DSP Builder. I have no choice other than to purchase the standard licence as I must support Stratix IV.

The licences are perpetual, therefore if I did not pay to renew my licence next year I could continue to work uninterrupted and save my employer a significant fee.

My question is how to justify to my employer the advantages of paying the licence fee.

1) As described above, the licence fee does not give access to the premier support channel.

2) I am unable to upgrade above Q19.1 STD due to the reason listed above.

Are you able to advise on the advantages of paying for a licenced product?

Best regards

Simon
