Request: Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition License for Quartus Prime 25.1 (Windows 11)

Hello,

I would like to request a Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition license for my Windows 11 environment.

■ Target Tool
- Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition
- Version: 25.1 Standard Edition (bundled with Quartus Prime 25.1)

■ Environment
- OS: Windows 11 (Ryzen laptop)
- Quartus Prime 25.1 Standard Edition installed
- WSL2 installed
- No floating license server (local node-locked license required)

■ HOSTID (MAC Address)
My machine uses a Realtek Ethernet adapter that remains “enabled” even when the cable is disconnected.  
Therefore, Questa detects this Ethernet NIC as the primary physical adapter.

HOSTID (Ethernet MAC):
**16-09-01-1E-94-24**

■ Additional Notes
- Wi-Fi is also available, but Questa always selects the Ethernet NIC first.
- I confirmed the MAC address using:
  - `getmac /v /fo list`
  - `ipconfig /all`
- Please generate a node-locked license file (questa_lic.dat) for this HOSTID.

Thank you very much for your support.

    Hi Hiroyuki_T​ 
     

    For evaluation and no‑cost licenses, we recommend that users generate the license directly through the Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC):

    Are you encountering any issues or do you need assistance with generating the license?
