DSP Builder for university student

[Altera_Forum]

I'd like to have a look/experiment with DSP Builder for my university project but is there any free/web edition version of DSP Builder? or is this strictly licence only? 

 I'm running Quartus web edition 11.0

Have your professor join the Altera University program and then he can request a Quartus II full-edition license.

Thanks Dave,  

I've just read...  'Before you set up licensing for DSP Builder, you must already have the Quartus II  software installed on your computer with licensing set up'  Will i be ok with just a web edition licence type?  Also, the licence request asks for a my NIC address. I am running a virtual machine on my mac so which do i give? is this just for the download or is the licence tethered to the NIC address?

you can use DSP Builder with QII Web Edition

You can't use any of the high-end DSP devices (Stratix series) without a full license.    --- Quote Start ---   Also, the licence request asks for a my NIC address.

I have multiple versions of VirtualBox with older versions of Quartus installed. The only issue I have seen is that under a Windows 7 host, the USB-Blaster cannot be given to the VM. However, it works fine under a Centos 6.2 and WinXP host.  Cheers, Dave

scucherish, please do not request licenses on the forum. if you are a student try contacting the University Program. if you are a company, contact your distributor and purchase a license

Does the university program include Mexican too?
