Quartus II software 30-day evaluation of free web edition

I am using Quartus 15 free web edition along with modelsim on linux and I have realized recently that I have been getting this message when using the quartus tools from the command line:  

Info (292036): Thank you for using the Quartus II software 30-day evaluation. 

I use Quartus as normal and do the mapper, fitter, planner, generation of sof or jic mostly in command line due to the project generation tools I use. Currently I have only 7 days left, will this prevent me from using the tools after the 7 days are up?

You are probably using the temp 30 day full license. After that expires the tool should still run in non-licensed mode, (web edition). Some features are disabled, and product are limited to smaller device families, but as long as you can live with these limitations you should be good.

Hi kdgwill, 

 

You can look into the following document for comparison between the features with licensed vs web edition to see if it will impact your current design. For example, web edition does not have Stratix series supported.

Thanks Pete, I was worried I wouldn't be able to continue my project after the trial ended
