QII 13.0 License file

[Sukh]

I have DE1 (Terrasic), MAXII Micro Kit (Terassic) & UPII (Altera) and use it for student training. Teraasic advised that QII 13.0 sp1 should work. I use MAX7000 (EPM7128SL C84-15 - UPII), MAXII (EPM2210F324C3N - MAX Micro Kit), CycloneII (EP2C20F484C7N - DE1) to practice FPGA & CPLD programming. Therefore, How to get Student license of QII 13.0 sp1..

I use that same DE1 board and also do MAX7000 development. I use the free/unlicensed 13.0sp1 web version.

I have installed and use the web/lite versions of Quartus 13.0sp1, 16.0, and 21.1

Never have I needed to install a license file/code.

The web/lite (ie, free) version vs the standard/prime (ie, paid) version does not require a license be installed to run.

From the install guide for 16.0, for example:

Note: The Quartus Prime Lite Edition and ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition Software do NOT require a
license. If you are using this software, you can skip the licensing step and begin using the software.

The other versions I use have similar language. So use the web/lite version if it supports the devices you have. Much easier.

Thanks for update answer @_AK6DN_. It is not recommended to keep a Case idle too long without activities. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

I need the license for Cyclone I with Quartus 13.0sp1.

the license is set it up but still it says I need a license for Cyclone family. How can I resolve it?

[_AK6DN_]

For CycloneI with 13.0sp1 you need to use the Subscription (licensed) version of Quartus, not the Web (free/unlicensed) version.

So you need a valid / purchased Quartus license code.
