Can I program Cyclone V devices without having a license? We have the programming file .sof. we don't want to compile.

thanks @Anand​

The last question is using the 30 day trial, is it possible to generate sof file? ( not a time limited)

    Yes, but it will be time-limited sof file for Quartus pro & Quartus std.

    We can use Quartus Lite to generate sof(not a time limited) only if, we are not using any IP's which required license.

    For example: If we use Quartus Lite to design a system with Nios II/f(which requires license) in 30-days train mode of quartus. Tool will generate a time limited sof file.
