Go here. 

http://www.altera.com/  Upper right corner says Licensing.  Next page says; Get My License File Get licenses for Altera® software, IP, and development kits.  Click into that link.  A little down the page are instructions for getting Dev Kit licenses.  Thanks

Make sure to not miss the moment the limited version expires to extend it for another year for a reduced price. After this extension, it will be useable forever.

Hi tschaggelar, 

 You mentioned an extension. How does it work? At the end of my one-year license period, where can I get an extension of that license?    --- Quote Start ---  Make sure to not miss the moment the limited version expires to extend it for another year for a reduced price.

The details are on the coupon with the kit I believe.

This is all new to me. After the one year, we are required to extend. After that extension, the license is perpetual? no more extension cost involved?

After 1 year. your license will expire, and you will need to renew it. 

If you use the certificate, then you can get a full version (and full license) for a reduced price. The current deal with Kit version fo the Quartus tools is that they come with a 1 year, then it dies license. THis is different then the Full Subscription version fo the tool or the Free WEB version fo the tool. Free WEB version - limited parts set. Kit version - Full version with 1 year limit on license - hard stop Full Version - all parts and a few more features - license for 1 year, then you can extend with NO new features (parts) perpetually or resubscribe (re-up) each year.

Thanks. I wish this info would be made clearer, as clear as Avatar has explained, in the product page in the web site.
