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.

Hi,
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.- S_Dyn6 months ago

Hi,
I did research to check weather cyclone II is supported by the latest Quartus version.
Referring to the screen shot, Quartus II 13.0.1 only start to support Cyclone III and above.
For Cyclone II, I need to install Quartus II 13.0sp1. Do this version needs a paid license?This QII version also have 3 disk? Should I download all version?
Please kindly advice.
Thank you.
