New ContributorHello.
I am currently using Quartus II ver 7 Web Edition.
May I know what does this error means?
Thank you.

Super ContributorYour title is cut off. Can you provide more detail on what you are trying to do? And why are you using an almost 20 year old version of Quartus?
Super ContributorNew ContributorHi.
Could you explain more. I dont really understand what are you implying.
Thank you.

New ContributorHi.
Below is the error
Warning: Can't generate programming files because you are currently using the Quartus II software in Evaluation Mode.
I am try to load .sof file into the DE1 board. This board supports Cyclone 2. This is the only FGPA board available in my institution and I need to teach to my students in next 2 weeks.
After some googling, I notice the .sof file is not generated after compilation because the software is in Evaluation Mode.
I need some suggestion to solve this.
Super ContributorHi,
it should be possible to reset licensing mode of Quartus 7 Web Edition to free license, but I'm not sure how to. I remember that old Quartus Web Edition from time to time comes up with a message that license has expired. Refreshing the license isn't supported because the respective server doesn't exist since many years. One possible choice in the dialog is "Evaluation Mode" which must not be selected. I was always able to skip the dialog and operate the old software as before, but I don't know if there's an official solution.
The latest Web Edition supporting Cyclone and Cyclone II is 13.0.1, still available for download. In case of doubt, I'd try to install this version.
Super ContributorHi,
you are confusing versions. 13.0.1 is 13.0sp1, you are showing device support info of 13.1
You minimally need two installation files from "Individual Files" tab, QuartusSetupWeb-13.0.1.232.exe 1.5 GB and cyclone_web-13.0.1.232.qdz, 569 MB.

Frequent ContributorAs an FYI, I have a TerAsic DE1 board with the CycloneII device and I use Quartus Web 13.0sp1 to compile code for the board.
It works just fine. I have used it on XP and Win7 and now Win10; have not tried Win11.
So 13.0sp1 is the way to go forward.
New ContributorHi.
Do this version need any license?
Thank you.
