Alternative for MAX+PLUS II software

Hi Intel Customer Technical Support,

It's understand that MAX+PLUS II software & licensing had been discontinued. I'm currently working on developing duplication functional tester, for which, the software is needed to program an IC / CPLD on legacy PCBA. Any alternative software suggestion for this issue?

Kindly assist. Appreciate if any guidance and help rendered on this matter.

Best Regards,

Lisa Lai

      What do you want to do, program CPLD with existing .pof file or modify/synthesize HDL project?

      Programming is possible with any version of Quartus programmer, latest Quartus version supporting MAX7000S compilation is 13.0sp1, free lite version still available for download.

        Hi, thanks for the reply.

        Yup, program CPLD with existing .pof file.

        May I know where can I get the latest Quartus version supporting MAX7000S, 13.0sp1?

        You mean the free lite version still available for download, does the software comes with its licensing or need to purchase?
