    Hi,

    This warning indicates that you are using some licensed IP core.

    Which version of NIOS you are using? NIOS/e or NIOS/f ?

    NIOS/f - is not free, you need to buy license for this version.

    Yes, you can but take in mind that NIOS/e does not have some features as NIOS/f such as interrupts, hardware multiply/divide ect.
