2.1. Installing and Licensing Intel® FPGA IP Cores
  The  Intel® Quartus® Prime software installation includes the  Intel® FPGA IP library. This library provides many useful IP cores for your production use without the need for an additional license. Some  Intel® FPGA IP cores require purchase of a separate license for production use. The  Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode allows you to evaluate these licensed  Intel® FPGA IP cores in simulation and hardware, before deciding to purchase a full production IP core license. You only need to purchase a full production license for licensed  Intel®  IP cores after you complete hardware testing and are ready to use the IP in production. 
  
 
  The Intel® Quartus® Prime software installs IP cores in the following locations by default:
