I have run into one more issue. I am using the web edition of he Quartus II software. Am I correct is assuming that I cannot use the NIOS processor except on a tethered or time limited basis without a separate license?

Use the NIOS II/e core:

That is a real deal breaker for using this approach. My fallback position for using either my DE0-NANO or DE2-70 board is to do everything in Verilog. I am a retired individual and could not justify a great expense for a license.

If the NIOS II/e core doesn't work for you, you could try one of the OpenCores cores, eg., OpenRISC or one of the AVR variants, or the Leon SPARC processor. They're all free.
