License to the Licensed Program: By this Agreement, ALTERA grants to you a non-exclusive license to use the Licensed Program (and any updates thereof for which you have paid a subscription fee) on the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement. Any features for which you have not paid a subscription fee or any other unenabled features of the Licensed Program (unless ALTERA provides a software protection enabling key or code for such unenabled features) are unlicensed and you agree not to use or access such features. The Software is confidential and proprietary to ALTERA and its licensors, and ALTERA and its licensors retain all title, copyright, patent and other proprietary rights therein.

TalkBack Feature Notice: The TalkBack feature, included with the Licensed Program(s), enables ALTERA to receive limited information concerning the Licensed Program(s) that you use and your compilation of logic designs (but not the logic design files themselves) using the Licensed Program(s). One of the primary purposes of the TalkBack feature is to assist ALTERA in understanding how its customers use the Licensed Program(s) and ALTERA'S other products, so more effort can be placed on improving the features most important to users. To disable/enable the TalkBack feature, run qtb_install.exe located in your quartus/bin folder.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
The only information that ALTERA will receive through the TalkBack feature is the information listed below. No design files will be collected or transmitted.
Logic design compilation information regarding the following categories will be collected: constraints (e.g., location assignments, clock and timing requirement and assignments, any constraints set via the Quartus?I graphical user interface), device (e.g., targeted device and family), compilation (e.g., device, memory and I/O utilization, time of compilation), design (e.g., the number of each type of file used and name of top file, intellectual property cores/Megacore® logic functions used), software tools (e.g., synthesis, simulation and timing analysis tools used and version and build of the Licensed Program(s)), platform (e.g., operating system, speed and number of processors and main memory), license file identification number (T-Guard, host ID, NIC ID or C: drive), and software errors log (e.g., previous exit status).
ALTERA may correlate the data collected by the TalkBack feature to determine the identity of the user.
TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION
The TalkBack feature functions by bundling the collected information resulting from your installation and/or execution of the Licensed Program(s) and each logic design compilation and writing it to XML files which are transmitted to ALTERA'S external web server by https (hypertext transfer protocol secure) post (or by e-mail, for the UNIX release of the Licensed Program(s)).
The TalkBack feature will only maintain up to fifteen (15) files at any given time, i.e., the last five (5) sent files and up to ten (10) unsent files. As new files are created, prior files (whether or not previously transmitted) will be deleted. Saved files will be less than 50 KB in size and can be viewed as text files found in your temporary directory on your hard drive (typically in /tmp, c:/temp, or c:\documents and setting\username\local settings\temp).
If an https post transmission fails, or an internet connection is not available at the time of installation, execution or compilation, the information is stored as an XML file. Once an internet connection is achieved by you, the https post transmission (or by e-mail, for the UNIX release) will again be attempted upon a successful compilation. The TalkBack feature will not initiate an internet connection. Files that have not been successfully transmitted will be named "quartus_talkback*.xml", while successfully transmitted files will be renamed as "sent_quartus_talkback*.xml."
The collection and bundling of information by the TalkBack feature will not materially affect the installation or compilation time or the performance of the Licensed Program(s).
ALTERA uses reasonable efforts to maintain the privacy of the transmitted information. However, due to technological limitations, and the risk of unlawful interceptions and accessing of transmissions and/or data, ALTERA cannot completely assure you, and you should not expect, that the information will be absolutely protected or confidential. Once received, the transmitted information is protected from outside ALTERA by "firewalls."
Should you attempt to tamper with or modify any installation of the Licensed Program(s) in any way (other than as permitted herein or by your license), ALTERA does not take any responsibility regarding the operation of the TalkBack feature, or the collection and transmission of data as described herein.
NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED; USE OF INFORMATION
The information collected by the TalkBack feature will not be disclosed by ALTERA to any third parties other than its subsidiaries and its distributors and sales representatives (collectively, Partners) which disclosure will be in a form which correlates and personally identifies individual customers or users; provided, however, that ALTERA may share this information in an aggregate form that does not identify individual customers or users, with its electronic design automation (EDA) partners, including, but not limited to, Synopsys, Inc., Synplicity, Inc., Exemplar Logic, Mentor Graphics Corp. and Aplus Design Technologies. ALTERA also seeks to require its Partners and EDA partners to exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
The information collected by the TalkBack feature will only be used by ALTERA and its subsidiaries, Partners and EDA partners for marketing and sales (for example, selective announcement of new products and services, distribution of marketing information, etc.) product planning and software development purposes (for example, solving software problems, optimizing software processing and designing future products to your needs). If you do not wish to receive sales and marketing communications, you may contact webmaster@altera.com. In that case, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly remove you from such lists.
EUROPEAN USERS OF THE LICENSED PROGRAM(S): Please note that the TalkBack feature will collect and provide certain personally identifiable information to ALTERA. By agreeing to this Program Subscription License Agreement, you hereby give your consent for ALTERA to use this information both within and outside of the European Union for the purposes described in this TalkBack disclosure notice.
Access To Information By ISPs
Through the https post procedure (or by e-mail, for the UNIX release), your and ALTERA'S Internet Service Providers will also receive the information collected by the TalkBack feature. However, ALTERA'S ISP does not disclose, share, release, publish, disseminate, rent or sell any of the information to any third parties. You should contact your ISP to determine their disclosure policies.
REQUIRED DISCLOSURES
In addition to disclosures to its subsidiaries, Partners, EDA partners and ISP, and regardless of anything herein to the contrary, ALTERA may disclose personally identifiable information (collected by the TalkBack feature and correlated to users), with or without prior notice, when ALTERA believes that the law requires it, in response to subpoenas or at the demand of governmental agencies, to protect its systems or business, or to respond to an emergency.
ASSIGNMENT
ALTERA reserves the right to transfer any and all information collected by the TalkBack feature from users of the Licensed Program(s) to a third party in the event that it sells or transfers substantially all of its assets related to the Licensed Program(s) to such third party.
DISABLING/ENABLING
You may disable/enable the TalkBack feature at any time by running qtb_install.exe located in your quartus/bin folder.
