      Hello Hazlina,

      Thanks for the membership site, I applied yesterday. The response said it would take up to five days to be approved.

      Let me explain what I'm looking for.

      My community college needs to set up a lab using the Terasic DE0-CV Cyclone V FPGA board. The lab is part of a Digital Logic Class offered

      in the Fall21 semester.

      I have discovered The Quartus II Prime Lite and ModelSim Starter will provide the needed capabilities for the student labs. Nether requires a license.

      My question(s) 1. Can this un-licensed software be used in a lab class? or 2. Will my college need to purchase licenses?

      If the membership forum can answer this, Where and how do I ask the question?

      Thanks for your help,

      Doug Fitzpatrick

  • Hi,

    Sorry for the late reply. I overlooked this.


    1) Yes you may use the Lite and Modelsim starter version in the lab or class setting

    2) Your colleagues do not require a license if they use the Lite version of the tool.
