Your 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?

Hi.


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.
