Having unlicensed IP in your design can cause Quartus to not generate any programming files. Do have any IP cores, like Ethernet, in your design? If that's what's going on you should be able to get a demo license for the core. In that case the .sof file will be generated but will be time-limited (will only run for a fixed period of time, usually a few hours).
