Renewal Subscriptions

Altera subscriptions include one year of software updates. After that first year, the Altera software continues to work but you will not be able to install new updates. The ModelSim-Altera software will stop working after 15 months. You can purchase renewal subscriptions, which extend updates for an additional 12 months and provide another 15 months of ModelSim-Altera operation.

Flexible Licensing Models for PC, UNIX, and Linux Operating Systems

Subscriptions are available in flexible licensing models to support stand-alone PCs or networks including mixtures of PC, UNIX, and Linux clients. The information in Table 1 will help you select the product that best fits into your design environment.

Table 1. Altera Subscription Products
System Configuration Product Additional Floating Nodes Renewing Subscription
Stand-Alone, Single-User License for PCs(1) FIXEDPC   Renewal
Multiple-User Network Licensing for PC, UNIX, and Red Hat Linux Nodes (2) FLOATALL ADD-FLOATALL Renewal
Legacy Multiple-User Network Licenses (3)   ADD-FLOATALL Renewal

Notes:

  1. With version 8.0 and later, FIXEDPC no longer includes/supports USB dongles. Licenses are tied to a NIC (Network Interface Card) or similar.
  2. FLOATALL product license servers can be UNIX, Linux, or Windows based. Any client on the network can access the software. The maximum number of users that can access the software at any one time is equal to the number of seats purchased.
  3. Support for additional PC, Linux, or UNIX clients can be added to an existing FLOATPC, FLOATLNX, or FLOATNET license server by adding one or more ADD-FLOATALL licenses.
