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,

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.
