Quartus 20.1 Patch 0.18 link not working

[JDrba]

We need to use Temperature sensor IP which is broken in Quartus 20.1 (latest Quartus we have license for). But patch is not possile to download (oops!):
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000074969.html

Is there any other link for download patch 0.18 for Quartus 20.1?

Quartus licenses are not version specific.  You can use any version you want.  The license is a subscription for 1 year of access.  So try a newer version.

[JDrba]

But our subscription has expired. Last quartus we can use is 20.1. Therefore we need the patch.

[sstrell]

So if your subscription has expired, you won’t be able to use any version of Pro including 20.1.

[JDrba]

No, we are able to use last version of Quartus when our subscription has expired and this is 20.1.

[sstrell]

I’m not sure how that is possible since that’s not how Quartus licenses work.

Quartus license is perpetual with a year of updates, after which you would need to keep the subscription going only if you wanted to use newer versions of the tools.

Regarding the patch,
Attached is the patch file. Please read the readme.txt file for disclaimer. 
I will file an IT ticket to fix the broken link.
