Installing and Licensing IP Cores
The Altera IP Library provides many useful IP core functions for production use without purchasing an
additional license. You can evaluate any Altera
®
IP core in simulation and compilation in the Quartus
®
II
software using the OpenCore
®
evaluation feature. Some Altera IP cores, such as MegaCore
®
functions,
require that you purchase a separate license for production use. You can use the OpenCore Plus feature to
evaluate IP that requires purchase of an additional license until you are satisfied with the functionality and
performance. After you purchase a license, visit the Self Service Licensing Center to obtain a license
number for any Altera product.
