Quartus - Latest Version that runs on 32 bit Windows 7

We are trying to program some Max 7000 chips and want to download the latest version of Quartus that will run on Windows 7 - 32 bit.

Ver 14 is apparently 64 bit only and the System Requirements listed for each version does not state 32 or 64 bit for the older versions.

Any help you can give that eliminate a long trail and error process would be appreciated.

    According to this link:

    http://www.altera.com/education/univ/software/unv-software.html

    14.0 is the first version that is 64-bit only, so you should be able to use 13.1, although I just looked at my Win7 install for 13.1 and it only lists a 64-bit Quartus. 13.0sp1 has both 32-bit and 64-bit, so go for that :)

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Hey Dave!

    Thanks!

    We will try the 13.0 Sp1.

    I downloaded 14 and then 10 (32 bit friendly) but thought I'd ask before work my way up the list.

    What did you mean, Jeff? Are you using version 10?

    I met your same situation.

    We aren't currently using Quartus.

    We designed a "one time" product approx. 10 yrs ago and used MaxPlus II to program the chips. Apparently MaxPlus is no longer supported -> We tried several times and can't get a license for it. The customer has ordered several more units. If we are going to use Quartus, we might as well use the latest and greatest that will run on Win 7 32 bit.

    If you go to the software download page;

    https://www.altera.com/download/sw/dnl-sw-index.jsp

    Click on the Devices tab and select MAX7000, you will find that 13.0sp1 is the last version to support that device. This is a 32-bit version, so you can use that.

    Cheers,

    Dave
