Just tried the latest software version 4.05 and I can't program an Atmel F16V8C device.

Hello,

I can see from the screenshot that the programmer was not able to read the manufacturer or device ID code from the device.

In order to have the complete picture of the situation please provide the info-rich problem report (Help > Create problem report).

DId you see the follwoing notes in the "device info" section of the software:

General Info:
In case of unreliable work of this device using universal adapter/module, please connect bypass capacitor (ceramic multilayer, that meet the EIA X7R or Z5U specification value 22nF-100nF) between GND(VSS) and VCC(VDD) pins of this device.
We provide a programming adapter DIL40/DIL40 ZIF AddCap (70-0802) with special soldering pads for better placing of some capacitors. The programming adapter package (70-0802) also contains 5 pieces of 100nF and 5 pieces of 100pF ceramic capacitors.
According to an application note mentioned later we recommend to apply a decoupling capacitor with a value of 220nF. For more information: Application Note, Selecting Decoupling Capacitors for Atmel's PLDs, https://www.microchip.com/en-us/applica ... tes/an0484

Can you impliment the bypass capacitor and let me know if the situation does not improve.

Tried the 100nF bypass capacitor with the adapter and was able to successfully program the Atmel ATF16V8C-7PU parts.
