The CompactFlash Activation License is a license key which activates the CompactFlash storage capability of the Manage Images Utility. This enables it to be used with the CompactFlash card interface of any compatible Cyclone devices: Cyclone PRO, Cyclone MAX, or Cyclone for Renesas!
Using the CompactFlash interface allows for programming of larger datasets, and for the storage of multiple programming images on the CompactFlash card.
The CF feature allows for faster, easier, and more flexible programming of data whether it is during field updates or on production runs.
The Cyclone products are not compatible with compact flash cards that are 4GB and over.
