It's not free (anymore?), or at least only for 6 months. From the site:

"The MAX+PLUS II BASELINE software is a free, entry-level version of
the MAX+PLUS II software. With the MAX+PLUS II BASELINE
software, you can use the MAX+PLUS II design environment for six
months and take advantage of its performance, ease of use, and
extensive features to enhance your design productivity. Altera updates
the MAX+PLUS II BASELINE software with each MAX+PLUS II release
(typically every quarter), so you should always download the current
version to take full advantage of the latest features.

"The MAX+PLUS II BASELINE software replaces the PLS-WEB
software, and has the same feature set."
