Error: Current license file does not support the EP2C5Q208C8 device

Just installed 10.1 Web Edition, compiled, and got this message. Why? I thought Cyclones were fully supported in Web Edition? Quartus identifies itself as Version 10.1 Build 153 11/29/201...

I just experienced a similar problem; Quartus had completed a couple of builds successfully, then, without shutting it down, it decided it couldn't find a licence (licence in use).

Re-start of Quartus didn't fix. Licence is permanent, so not expired. No-one else is using it. Couldn't see any obvious Quartus processes in Task Manager.

Re-boot of PC fixed the problem, so I suspect Quartus got a little 'confused' about the state of its licence.
