Hi Scott:

Since I have the subscription version, I don't know when they switched the web edition from using a license file to not, but I just verified that the ACEX1k was still supported in version 8.1 of Quartus, so that may be easier to get than a license for version 4.2..

I'm a contractor and have multiple versions running for various clients so I know it's present in 8.1 and gone in 9.1, I've read some 9.0 release notes that give the impression that it's still running there, but since I've moved all my 9.0 clients to 9.1 already, I can't verify that without re-installing it.

I know you can download 8.1 web edition from the Altera ftp site. It may be worth a try.
