Hello Daixiwen, MSchimitt,

Thank you for your feedbacks. If you are interested, please find in attachment a screenshot my current license setup.

I found in the compilation report the item that requires a license, it is a Altera SRAM controller. Now, when I program the FPGA, there is a dialog window that pops up (please see screenshot in attachment too) and it says that the license time in unlimited.

>> Info: SRAM Object File C:/.../design_time_limited.sof contains time-limited megafunction that supports OpenCore Plus feature -- Vendor: 0x6AF7, Product: 0x00A2

If it is unlimited, why can't I close that window? If I do so, my NIOS II C program simply stops. What a shame... my program has an USB interface and I need to use that piece of hardware with computers that do not have Quartus II installed.

Does any one know if it is possible (and now) flash the program when a license check is pending? Like in my case... Thank you.
