Altera_Forumthe dot releases are major releases

I think that version after the dot is minor one :) Afaik BadOmen somewhere mentioned, that major versions are 9, 10 and 11.

i think 3 major versions would mean 11.0, 10.1, and 10.0 right now

My bad :(. I have to download v9 now.

Well, Altera supports three major versions, so 11, 10 and 9 versions should work.

Altera has changed the web edition's licensing method with V9.0. As far as I know, V9.0 or V9.1 licensing still works. If you want old Quartus features like the internal simulator, you should try with a V9.x version.

Quartus 8.0 is unsupported for a long time - You won't find a license for this version of software. Use the newest version of Quartus.
