When developing an Altera® FPGA, if you use the paid Quartus® Prime software or paid IP (Intellectual Property), Questa* - Altera® FPGA Edition, you must purchase a license (right to use) for that product and then obtain a license file. When obtaining a purchased license file for the first time, you must associate the purchased license with the NIC ID (Network Interface Card ID) of the computer that will use the development software or IP. This procedure is completed by the licensee themselves at the manufacturer's website, "FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center."
This article explains how to link a new license to your computer atthe Self-Service Licensing Center.
There are three work menus.
To obtain the Quartus® Prime license that comes with the Altera® FPGA development kit, please click here.
Also, to obtain a free OEM tool Questa*-Altera® FPGA Starter Edition license, please click here.

Register a new computer
Newly register the information of the computer for which the license file is to be issued.
If you want to link a new license to a computer that has already been registered with the License Center, skip this step and proceed to Link a new license to a computer.
1. Click the Computers and License Files menu and select All Computers.
(The registered computer information is displayed.)
2. Click [New] in the top right corner of the screen.

3. Enter the information of the computer to be registered.
| item | explanation |
| Computer Name | Enter the name that identifies the computer you want to register on the license center. (It does not have to be the computer's host name.) The Computer Name can be changed after registration. |
| Computer Type |
Select the NIC ID.
|
| License Type |
Specifies the type of license to use. Choose from FIXED or FLOAT.
[Notes] ・The Questa* - Altera® FPGA Edition FIXED license does not support remote operation such as remote desktop. |
| Primary Computer ID |
If you are using FIXED, enter the NIC ID of the PC on which you are using Quartus® Prime, IP, or Questa*-Altera® FPGA Edition. If you are using FLOAT, enter the NIC ID of the computer you are using as the license server. |
|
Companion Computer ID 1 / 2 or Redundant Server ID 1 / 2 |
Input is optional. For companion licenses, see How to Get a Companion License. A redundant license is registered when operating three FLOAT license servers. [Notes] - You can change the NIC ID after registration, but you cannot leave it blank. ・If you register or change these NIC IDs after linking the license, the number of IDs that can be changed (up to 3 times) during the maintenance contract period will be reduced. |
4. Click the [Save] button.
5. Once you confirm that the registered computer information is displayed in the [Computers and License Files] menu, registration is complete.
Link the new license to your computer
Link the newly purchased license to the registered computer.
[Note]
If you have purchased multiple IP licenses at the same time and you want to link only a few of the FIXED computers or the number of purchased licenses to one NIC ID,
It is necessary to divide the license in advance. After that, connect it to your computer.
1. Click the Licenses menu and select New Licenses.
Registered (purchased) licenses that are not linked to a computer will be displayed.
2. Click the License Name (L-) of the appropriate license to go to the linked page.
3. Click the Generate License button in the top right corner of the page.
4. The Generate License window appears.
Double-click "Search Host Information..." in the [Assign an Existing Computer] field, or enter the registered computer name or
Enter the NIC ID to search and select the computer to assign the license to.
5. Click the Generate button.
A license file will be sent to your registered e-mail address.
If you want to assign multiple licenses to one computer, repeat steps 1 to 5 and use the last issued license file.
Now you can get the license file.
Save the attached license file to the computer where you will use the license. It is recommended to save the file with the extension.dat.
License files that have already been issued can be reissued at the License Center. See here for how to reissue.
Set the obtained license file
Set the obtained license file according to the license type.
For the setting method, refer to the following.
Please note that the licensing procedures for Arm® Development Studio (DS) for SoC FPGA Edition are different, so please see below.
