Figure 1–1 on page 1–4
shows the directory structure after you install the ASI
MegaCore function, where <path> is the installation directory. The default installation
directory on Windows is c:\altera\<version>; on Linux it is /opt/altera<version>.
You need to obtain a license for the MegaCore function only when you are completely
satisfied with its functionality and performance, and want to take your design to
production.
After you obtain a license for ASI, you can request a license file from the Altera web
site at
and install it on your computer. When you request a
license file, Altera emails you a license.dat file. If you do not have Internet access,
contact your local Altera representative.
