Hi jaka,

I'm using Quartus 15.0 web edition trying to program the non-volatile key to the Cyclone V device on the SoCKit. SoCKit has the on-board USB Blaster II. But when I tried to program the non-volatile key, Quartus gave me the "Current hardware doesn't support security key programming" error. I tried you commnd line method but still the same. I also tried version 15.1, but still no luck.

You mentioned that Quartus 14.1 is the first version which supports programming of the non-volatile key with USB Blaster II. Do you know if this function in still in version 15.0 or 15.1?

Or is this function only available in paid verion of Quartus?

Thanks in advance for your help!
