As 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.

Hi.

Do this version need any license?

Thank you.

    No, the web version of Quartus 13.0sp1 does not require a license. Just install and run. It supports the DE1 board directly.

      Hi.

      I get the message when I open the QII.


      Would I face the same issue where the .sof file is not generated after compilation because of the web version?

      Thank you.

      S_Dyn.

        Select the second option "Run the Quartus II software" when you install.

        You don't need or want the subscription version which requires a paid license, and
        I am assuming you are not using any purchased IP files so the third option does not apply.

        Once the web version is installed, it won't ask you again about licensing.
