I'd like to develop a Cyclone III app (possibly with the NIOS II processor) for a new design. Is a paid license required for distribution ? It's not clear from the Quartus Subscription vs. Web comparison pdf.
Apologies in advance for the "newbie" questionLink Copied

Web addition will work fine for Cyclone III. However NIOS is a licensed core.
So if you have NIOS, it will require a NIOS add on license. to build it without the timeout. I've never have done NIOS on a web-license (we have a full license with the NIOS add-on) If you go Cyclone V, it appears all the SOC's are supported under the web edition. So that would be my recommend place to start with a CPU. Basically the smaller (Current) families are supported on the web-edition. The license gets you support for larger family members and some optimizations and tools not supported in web-edition. NIOS is an add-on license, but a "Time-out" version is available to try before you buy. Pete- Mark as New

The NIOS II/e is free, no license required

Good to know Dave.. We've had the standard core license for awhile. Didn't know they made the "Economy" version free.
