Trying to recover capability from an old permanent Quartus II license

Hello -

I have been tasked to add some functionality to a nearly 20 year old Quartus II project. I have setup what seems like a functioning environment using free legacy license. I also have the original license file that seems to have many more features unlocked than the free license, but the USB software guard associated with this license is long since gone. Now that I am attempting to compile the project, I can see I require some of the features from our original license to create output files (minimally, the MegaCore PCI core v4.0.0). Is there any way I can provide specific information about this license and/or license purchase from years ago to regenerate it as a new node locked license or procure a new usb software guard? All the features in the old license file appear to be permanent allocations.

Thanks!

    Conversation in private messages led to finding out license holder on file still works within the company. Was able to have them make license self-service account and rehost the license. Issue is now resolved.

      I have sent a private message with the requested information, a copy of the original license file, and some additional information that may assist in seeing if Intel can provide a new copy of the license utilizing a NIC instead.
