QuartusII APEX20k license

I want to use APEX20K family.

Quartus v10.0 and 9 are not supporting this device family anymore.

only older versions like v3.0, v4.1.

but these older versions needs a purchased license for this family.

how can i program APEX20K family if i can't a valid license for old versions anymore (i cant even purchase a valid license).

Can anyone help????

thanx
