When ModelSim license expires?

Last May we bought Quartus and ModelSim (Intel FPGA) licenses.

  1. It is said here https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/programmable/quartus-prime/model-sim.html that ModelSim license expires in 15 months. But it is written in the license file that it expires exactly in May which is only 12 months. Could you clarify when it actually expires please?
  2. We are going to renew ModelSim license. Could you say us whether we also obliged to renew Quartus license too to renew ModelSim license? (taking into account that we most probably don't need Quartus maintanance next year)

Thank you

    Hi Siarhei Kazarynau, Yes, there is some data mismatch from the Intel Website and Buy Online website as the license expire period is not same. This is not something we expect. We will revert back to you once we make progress. Thank you for patience as we're working to resolve this issue. Thank you.

    Hi Siarhei Kazarynau,

    First, I would like to apologies for the delayed response.

    Second, we're sorry to inform you that the license expire period is only 12 months and not 15 months. Information provided in Intel Website is misprint, is a mistake made in the typing of printed material. We're looking forward to fix that.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    Thank you
