6.1. Summary of Intel FPGA Software Licenses Required
Software/IP | License Key Required? | Licensing Cost Involved? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Intel® Quartus® Prime Lite Edition | No | No | Supports fixed node and floating license. For more information, refer to Intel Quartus Prime Software License. |
Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition |
Yes | Yes | Supports fixed-node and floating licenses. You must choose one of them.
Note: There is a single ordering code for Intel® Quartus® Prime Software, which includes licenses for both Pro and Standard Editions. Buy subscription from one of the distributors under Distributor Partner Directory.
For more information, refer to Intel Quartus Prime Software License. |
Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition | Yes | No | Supports fixed-node and floating license. The Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition Software does not support companion licenses. For additional information, refer to Questa*-Intel FPGA Edition and Questa*-Intel FPGA Starter Edition Software License. |
Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition | Yes | Yes | Free with the purchase of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. Supports fixed-node and floating licenses. The Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition Software does not support companion licenses. You can also purchase the license separately from one of the distributors under Distributor Partner Directory. License fee includes 12 months of maintenance renewable annually. For additional information, refer to Questa*-Intel FPGA Edition and Questa*-Intel FPGA Starter Edition Software License. |
Intel® Simics® simulator for Intel® FPGAs | No | No | Needs no additional license. You just need to accept the EULA when you install the software. |
Nios® II Embedded Design Suite | No | No | No license file is required. The tool is free, but you must have a seat license to the Nios® II IP core or a development kit to generate an FPGA programming file and flash programming files. There is no license fee for developing software using only the Nios® II Software Build Tools for Eclipse. For additional information, refer to Nios II Embedded Design Suite License. |
Intel® FPGA AI Suite | Yes | Yes (only for unlimited inferences) |
You can download and run limited number of inferences for free. To run unlimited inferences on hardware, you must purchase Intel® FPGA AI Suite software from an Intel® authorized distributor. For additional information, refer to Intel® FPGA AI Suite: Getting Started Guide. |
DSP Builder for Intel® FPGAs | Yes | Yes | A DSP Builder supports fixed-node and floating license.
For additional information, refer to DSP Builder for Intel® FPGAs (Advanced Blockset): Handbook. |
Intel® Advanced Link Analyzer | No | No | |
Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator | No | No | |
Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit | No | No | |
Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite | Yes | Yes | There are no licensing differences between the Pro and Standard SoC EDS editions. None of the components included with the SoC EDS require a license. Only the Arm* Development Studio for Intel SoC FPGA Edition requires a license. Arm* Development Studio Community Edition supports fixed-node license.
For additional information, refer to Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (SoC EDS) User Guide. |
IP Core | Varies | Varies | All IPs are enabled for evaluation (at a minimum) upon installation of the combined Intel® Quartus® Prime software and IP release. Production licenses for the IP Base Suite are provided at no extra charge with each seat license of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition and Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition design software. Contact your local sales Intel authorized distributor for support. For more details, refer to IP Evaluation and Purchase and Intellectual Property (IP) Cores Licenses. |
