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.

      FWIW I' have the beginner tag but I've been using the software for 5 years plus. I've installed it on several machines. I think I know what I'm doing.

      The only problem I can see is the name of the device I am supposed to pick. My brochure tells me it is supposed to be Stratix V GX 5SGXEA7N2F45C2 but that's not on the list. Quartus shows me several members of the Stratix V family (e.g. 5CGXFC7C7F23C8) but I can't see the name that's on my brochure...
