What should I check when an unintended timelimited sof file is generated?

Tools: Quartus® II


First check the Assembler Encrypted IP Cores Summary item in the Quartus II Assembler Report.
This item reports the IP used.

If you look inside the IP Core Name in this item, you will see the IP Core used in the design.
Check here to see if an unintended IP has been selected.

Then check the License Type.
If it says Licensed, the license is visible to Quartus II.
If it is OpenCore Plus etc., it will be treated as an evaluation license, so a timelimited sof will be generated.
