You can create, compile and generate time-limited Nios II
processor systems using the OpenCore Plus hardware
evaluation feature without obtaining a license file. You must
obtain a license for the Nios II processor core and the Quartus II
software to generate non-time-limited programming files and
flash programming files for new Nios II hardware systems. You
do not need a license if you will only develop software using the
Nios II integrated development environment (IDE). For
licensing information, look on the Altera web site at
www.altera.com
