9 years ago --- Quote Start --- If its a brand new board, it should come with a licence. Best thing to do - speak to the FAE dealing with the boards. --- Quote End --- --- Quote Start --- Altera Licences are renewable on an annual basis. The version you get with a dev board should be a 1 year licence for the full version (which should cover all versions). The terasic board should come with a 1 year licence also, otherwise how would you program the boards? --- Quote End --- Sadly, the reply from Terasic wasn't what I was hoping for ... no, de3 doesn’t come with a 1-year quartus license.
actually, we only provide sw-opencl-sdk/dke, license along with de5 board, customers with other boards need to purchase the license from altera or its software/ license distributors directly. So, unless someone has a better idea, it seems the only option is an altera kit (https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/kit-siii-host.html)... Simon
