The Quartus II Web Edition software is license-free and supports Cyclone III devices
without any additional licensing requirement. This kit also works with the Quartus II
Subscription Edition software, after you obtain the proper license file. To purchase a
subscription, contact your Altera sales representative.
The Cyclone III development board includes integrated USB-Blaster™ circuitry for
FPGA programming. However, for the host computer and development board to
communicate, you must install the USB-Blaster driver on the host computer.
