13 years ago --- Quote Start --- Dave, Installing both packages on different directories works ok, but... is there any way to use the subscription edition package with a License Setup configuration that enables only the Web Edition features? I would like to avoid installing (and downloading) both packages. It would be nice to install only the subscription edition package and downgrade it to the Web Edition features when a full license is not available. Is there any way to do so? Best regards, julio PD: This used to be possible some years ago, when the full/free versions of Quartus were obtained using different license.txt files with the same installation package. --- Quote End --- I discovered there is a downside to this that may be related to your question. If both versions are installed and you add a license to the licensed version, the nonlicensed web version will also see that license and use that license. It appears both versions will point to the same license path. Consequently, I suspect it is better to just install the licensed version, and remove the license from the path when you don't want to use the license.
