Hi Folks,
I am trying to encrypt the FPGA configuration file and I am getting an error. I am using Quartus II 14.0. I referring to the document AN-556 titled: "Using the Design Security Features in Altera FPGAs" for the procedures to generate an encrypted FPGA configuration file and the key programming file. Here is the error message: [pavan@kt-hw1 run1]$ /home/tools/altera/14.0/quartus/bin/quartus_cpf --64bit -c -k ./output_files/keyfile:key1 output_files/zorya_top.sof output_files/zorya_top.rbf Info: ******************************************************************* Info: Running Quartus II 64-Bit Convert_programming_file Info: Version 14.0.0 Build 200 06/17/2014 SJ Full Version Info: Copyright (C) 1991-2014 Altera Corporation.

I noticed a line in the app note (AN-556) stating: "To enable the design security feature, you can obtain a license file from Altera Technical Support." Is this true? Do I need a special license to enable the Quartus II SW to generate encrypted configuration files in Quartus II 14.0? If I need an additional license, what is the name of the license? Thanks, jpLink Copied
