Hi Got your license.dat attachment. There are 2 version of Nios in your license.dat. 1) FEATURE 6AF8_00A2 alterad 2008.10 permanent uncounted and 2) FEATURE 6AF7_00A2 alterad 9999.12 16-mar-2012. The no2 license is the evaluation license and supported until Quartus 11.1.That explain why Quartus 11 was supported. For your question Has my "permanent" NIOS license *actually* expired? Your license is still permanent, and you can use anytime with version 11.1 and below. Regrettably, your license will not support Quartus 18.
