3.1. Installing and Licensing IPs

The Quartus® Prime software installation includes the IP library. This library provides many useful IPs for your production use without the need for an additional license. Some IPs require purchase of a separate license for production use. The IP Evaluation Mode allows you to evaluate these licensed IPs 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 Altera IPs after you complete hardware testing and are ready to use the IP in production.

The Quartus® Prime software installs IPs in the following locations by default:

Figure 1. IP Core Installation Path
