Wavform Simulator Error: Invalid Licese Environment - Wavform Simulator Error: Invalid Licese Environment
I installed Quartus II 24.1 Lite Edition. When using waveform simulator, I found the error: *** Running the ModelSim simulation **** c:/altera_lite/24.1std/questa_fse/win64//vsim -c -do test.do ** Fatal: Failed to initialize licensing environment. License environment not set correctly. Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing. ** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing. Error. Everything was fine before this error. I have allready fixed my license to Quartus II in options-License Setup.Maybe my question is too basic to be answered but I have tried every method I could think about. Thank you.

Any update on this? Do you able to simulate using the Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition? Regards, Richard Tan

Re: Wavform Simulator Error: Invalid Licese Environment
Since you are using Quartus Lite, we have a quick start manual on how to run the Questa tool using the Nativelink simulation flow (only in Quartus Lite/Std edition). You can download the example design and give it a run. Once you are familiar with the simulation flow, try this with your own design and testbench. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/703090/21-1/simulation-quick-start.html Regards, Richard Tan

Can you explain the process in detail?

Seem like a tool limitation with the Simulation Waveform Editor. Try to run using our Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition simulation tool. The tool should be able to provide the output data. Regards, Richard Tan

LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is set correctly and I can see the simulation result but the output is unkonwn(XXXX). ls138.v module ls138(G1,G2A,G2B,A,Y); input G1,G2A,G2B; input [2:0] A; output [7:0] Y; reg [7:0] Y; always@(G1 , G2A , G2B , A) begin if(G1&&(!G2A)&&(!G2B)) begin case (A) 3'b000: Y<=8'b1111_1110; 3'b001: Y<=8'b1111_1101; 3'b010: Y<=8'b1111_1011; 3'b011: Y<=8'b1111_0111; 3'b100: Y<=8'b1110_1111; 3'b101: Y<=8'b1101_1111; 3'b110: Y<=8'b1011_1111; 3'b111: Y<=8'b0111_1111; default: Y<=8'b1111_1111; endcase end else Y<=8'b1111_1111; end endmodule simulaotion result is attached.

Questa Intel FPGA Edition Software required you to set up the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. You may checkout the user guide below on how to set up the Questa license. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/24-3-1/and-software-license.html Regards, Richard Tan

Is your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable pointing to your license file? - 2025-04-09
