License question

[Altera_Forum]

Hi. Last year I bought Cyclone V GT FPGA Development Kit and I received a serial number code license. It was used to install Quartus last year. But now, i have a project with this kit on another version of quartus. Can I use this code now? What should i do if i can't use this code?[h=2][/h]

Providing you new installation is pointing at the same license file then yes, it should work. Check this under 'Tools' -> 'License Setup...'. Make sure the 'License file:' entry is pointing at your license file. 

 Cheers, Alex

Dear Alex<br> 

I have pointed at the same license file. But It seems to be that my quartus version still don't have license, and when I compile my project, it does not generate file.sof . Can you show me the reason? Thanks. https://alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14007&stc=1

Licenses are usually only good for a year. If it's been more than a year, you have to re-subscribe.
