MAX II Dev. kit programming

There is another solution for programming ES devices that allows you to use the latest version of Quartus (7.2).

Go to the project directory, and open the .qsf file. Make the modification as shown below:

set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EPM1270F256C5

to

set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EPM1270F256C5ES

Then, save the .qsf file and compile the project as usual and finally program the “ES” device with the new generated .pof file.

You may not be using the 1270 device, but the main point is that you need to append "ES" the the device name.
