FYI I also installed Quartus Lite 20.1.00 as this is supposed to support my device.

Quartus Prime Design Software
Version 20.1.0 Build 711 06/05/2020 SJ Lite Edition
Copyright (C) 2020 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

When I ran it I told it where to find the licence file and I noticed the following error: 14565 Can't connect to the Intel FPGA website to check for updates. (Not sure if the error is related.)

Regards,

PdP

    You can go to this link and Select by Device to check the latest Quartus version supported.
    Download Center for FPGAs

    As you can see, the latest Quartus version supported for Stratix V (GS/GT/GX/E) is Quartus Standard version 20.1. Hope it helps.

      Thanks but the DE5-Net brochure tells me the device number is 5SGXEA7N2F45C2 and that's not on the list of supported devices. Which device shuold I select?

        I've just wasted another day (downloading alone took a solid 8 hours) installing the 20.1 standard edition. When I created an empty project with the New Project Wizard, the device I've mentioned in most of my previous posts was not on the list.

        Please, please. please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    Yesterday I reinstalled quartus 20.1 and regenerated the licence file on the Intel website. I saved the new license file, which was sent to me by emai and I reconfigured the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.The environment variable was exported (export LM_LICENSE_FILE) in my .bashrc file and I logged out and in again. I then started quartus, making sure the license file details were correct.

    When I created a new (empty) project with the New Project Wizard, the device I needed (5SGXEA7N2F45C2) was not among the list of devices for the Stratix V family. In fact, the list of available devices became empty after I typed 5S.
