3.2. Installing and Licensing Intel® FPGA IPs

The Quartus® Prime software installation includes the Intel® FPGA IP library. This library provides many useful IPs for your production use without the need for an additional license. Some Intel® FPGA IPs require purchase of a separate license for production use. The Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode allows you to evaluate these licensed Intel® FPGA IPs in simulation and hardware, before deciding to purchase a full production IP license. You only need to purchase a full production license for licensed Intel® 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 3. IP Installation Path


Table 9.  IP Installation Locations
Location Software Platform
<drive>:\intelFPGA_pro\quartus\ip\altera\ethernet\intel_eth_e40 Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Windows*
<drive>:\intelFPGA_pro\quartus\ip\altera\ethernet\intel_eth_e40 Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Windows
<home directory>:/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/ip/altera/ethernet/intel_eth_e40 Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Linux*
<home directory>:/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/ip/altera/ethernet/intel_eth_e40 Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Linux
Note: The Quartus® Prime software does not support spaces in the installation path. The folder name "altera" is used to represent Quartus version in the IP location path shown in the IP Installation Locations table.
