Enabling configuration encryption option in Quartus Lite

[bhansen]

Hello,

I need access to the configuration encryption options for Intel MAX10 FPGA in Quartus Lite 18.1 which requires a license per AN 556: Using the Design Security Features in Intel FPGAs

I registered for a license through the self-service license tool using one of the NIC ID's on my machine (there are several)  and received a .dat license file via e-mail. The .dat license was added in Quartus License Setup but doesn't resolve issue, encryption options are not available in the Convert Programming Files utility.

Then noticed that NIC ID in the license setup window is a comma separated list of NIC ID's present on my machine (02xxxxxxxx80 , 74xxxxxxxx3b , 74xxxxxxxx7f , f8xxxxxxxx05 , faxxxxxxxx04 , f8xxxxxxxx04 , f8xxxxxxxx08). Does license need to include all NIC IDs?

I attempted to get a new license through self-service tool, but no products appear in page and The original NIC ID I had used is not recognized.

Intel customer support directed me to post my issue here to receive support from someone on the FPGA team... can you assist me in enabling the configuration encryption options for Intel  in Quartus Lite v18.1?

Thanks in advance!
