    Hi,


    What you can do is install the latest version of Quartus Prime, open the qar.


    After that, go to the project directory and look for *.qsf files. Open *.qsf files with notepad, and you able to see which Quartus was original built.


    Thanks,

    I don't have one handy to check right now, but I think the .qarlog text file that is generated when you create a .qar would have this info as well.
