In case your are using the Web-Edition the use of the FFT function is limited to 1 hour after programming the device.   "Warning: Megafunction that supports OpenCore Plus feature will stop functioning in 1 hour after device is programmed Info: Evaluation period of megafunction that supports OpenCore Plus feature can be extended indefinitely by using tethered operation"  That is the reason why you can't generate a pof-file.  Kind regards  GPK

Did you get a "<project_name>_time_limited.sof" file. If you are using OpenCore evaluation for any IP cores, you will not be able to generate a POF file.

I don't get "<project_name>_time_limited.sof" file. 

but get  E:/FPGA/cip90-c3/cip90-c3.sof file   is right?   thanks

As you are apparently using a subsription license, that includes the FFT core: Did you select "Use configuration device" in the Device and Pin Options/Configuration" tab? 

 You should be also able to convert *.sof to *.pof by the Convert Programming Files tool.

 what is the Convert Programming Files tool?     2.I didn't selected "Use configuration device" in the Device and Pin Options/Configuration" tab   Thanks
