Intel: I compiled a project I created a while ago with the latest Quartus II, but the compilation terminated with an error. Please tell me how to resolve.

Quartus Prime

<Error message>
Can't open SignalTap II Logic Analyzer. Verify that the license file exists and is stored in the correct location. If you are using the Quartus II Web Edition software, you must turn on the TalkBack feature to use the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer.

This error message will occur if the Quartus II used to compile is Web Edition and the TalkBack function is OFF.

Quartus II Web Edition has a limitation that cannot be used unless the TalkBack function is enabled when using SignalTap II.
Turn TalkBack on and try compiling again.

Here's how to change the settings for the TalkBack feature.

  1. Select Tools ⇒ Options from the Quartus II menu bar.
  2. Select Internet Connectivity from Category
  3. Click TalkBack Options...
  4. Check Enable sending TalkBack data to Altera and click OK
