Unexpected Installation of Quartus Standard Edition Instead of Lite Edition

[Student10]

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to inquire about an issue I encountered after installing Quartus Lite Edition on a Linux environment.

Below is the setup I used:

- Environment: Virtual machine running on VMware
- OS: Linux
- Software Package: Quartus Prime Lite Edition
- Version: 17.0 (used this version based on the reference material)
- Installation source: https://www.intel.co.jp/content/www/jp/ja/software-kit/669553/intel-quartus-prime-lite-edition-design-software-version-17-0-for-linux.html

When I ran `./setup`, the installer clearly showed "Lite Edition (Free)", and the installation completed successfully.

However, after installation, when I run `intelFPGA_lite/17.0/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit`, the software asks about a license. Additionally, executing `intelFPGA_lite/17.0/quartus/bin/quartus --version` shows that the installed version is "Standard Edition".

I have not installed any other version of Quartus on this system, so I do not understand why it is behaving as if the Standard Edition is installed.

I would appreciate it if you could provide clarification or assistance regarding this matter.

Best regards,

I came across a similar issue that appears to match your current problem.

I suspect something must have gone wrong with the .tar file, or installing a certain component, as stated in the reddit post.

Could you uninstall everything and install the Quartus by individual files?

Additionally, what specific OS version are you using?

Is it listed as a supported OS in the list below?
I have tested with Window 11 but not able to duplicate the issue.
