time limited core

[Altera_Forum]

hello, 

I bought a nios development kit stratix edition then required and obtain the license. Then i'm trying to create a design, using a niosII processor and a sdram controller. But it generate just a time limited .sof. Is it normal? Then when i launch quartus, tehre was written "subscription expire", they ask me to specify a license, whereas i already done it in tools -> license setup. ( my license should expire in march 2008).

If you don&#39;t see Nios II listed then I would contact your sales representative to clear up the issue. The time limited sof file requires you to keep a USB blaster connected to the board and the dialog box that opens after you download the programming file must remain open.
