preserve_for_debug, only available in Quartus pro?

I saw an Intel video on youtube that explains how to use  in the .qsf :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEKc2ut42gU

 

set_global_assignment -name PRESERVE_FOR_DEBUG_ENABLE ON

and in the RTL code 

attribute preserve_for_debug of my_signal_keep : signal is true;

 

But they never mention if this is only for Quartus pro only (and not standard).

As I use a cyclone V FPGA, I'm forced to use Quartus Std, and I have the impression this is not available there.

I wanted to use it because my keep attribute was not working (the net was removed):

attribute keep of my_net_to_keep : signal is true;

but I got it kept by changing this option in the QSF (from ON value):

set_global_assignment -name REMOVE_REDUNDANT_LOGIC_CELLS OFF
