Intel IP Core and Quartus Prime EDA Software for Pre-Commercial / Commercial Device Design

Good day. During the R&D of my research invention, I have used Quartus Prime software and several IP cores, such as FFT, Nios II, ARM-SoC and others associated peripheral to form a complete FPGA-...

    Hi Syafieq,

    Thanks for your reply. We actually haven't ready for commercial yet, but trying to improve existing R&D PoC prototype to pre-commercial invention to achieve higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL) from TRL 4-5 to TRL 6-7, so that this prototype is more presentable and well validated in real operational environment, which enable us to further explore the future commercial potential.

    As a result, I would like to double confirm on the following two questions:

    1. During the design process of pre-commercial invention (means not ready for commercial market yet), the university R&D team still not allowed to use the free academic license for the design process?

    2. Does the subscription to Quartus Standard/Pro also include the underlying IP library (e.g. Nios II, FFT, peripheral controller, etc) for the commercial use? Or separate licensing need to be purchased for different IP?

    Look forward to your advice. Thank you.
