Altera ModelSim 10.3d with Quartus 14.0

Hi,

I am currently using Quartus 14.0 and need to simulate a Stratix V Qsys design which uses FIR filters from the Altera FIR Filter Compiler as part of the design. As a result the simulation requires mixed mode simulation - the FIR filters generate VHDL simulation models, but the rest of my design is Verilog.

From what I gather ModelSim Altera Starter Edition (v10.1d) does not support mixed mode simulation - I get the following error when simulating:

#  ALTERA version supports only a single HDL#  ** Fatal: (vsim-3039) ...: Instantiation of '...' failed.#     Time: 0 ps  Iteration: 0  Instance: ... File: ...#  FATAL ERROR while loading design

I understand that as of Quartus 15.0 (Altera ModelSim 10.3d), that Mixed-mode simulation is now supported. However the simulation is for part of a massive project which I do not want to have to upgrade to Quartus 15.0 - I feel it's too risky to do given how many times Altera seem to keep changing and breaking IP cores and messing around with how Qsys behaves. I have about 100 IP cores that I have made which would need to be tested with 15.0, so its really not worth it.

So the question is, is it possible to install the latest version of ModelSim (10.3d) with an older version of Quartus (14.0), or will this cause problems?
