FPGA Licensing Support Center	Information on license types, getting a license file, setting up a license file, and resolving license-related issues. You can obtain a license for the Questa-Altera® FPGA Starter Edition software from the FPGA Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC). Before that, you need to complete the registration process for SSLC. In SSLC, navigate to the Sign up for Evaluation or Free License tab, select the Questa-Altera® FPGA Starter Edition (License: SW-QUESTA) product, specify the number of seats required, create a new computer or assign an existing computer, and then click on the Generate button. Visit the FPGA Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC) to generate the license file.
FPGA Software Download Center	The download center provides the latest software and libraries to ensure a successful simulation.
Operating System Support	The operating system support pages include release notes that describe known issues in the Questa-Altera® FPGA Edition and ModelSim-Altera® FPGA software.
