QuestaSim Error - QuestaSim Error I believe that I tried running QuestaSim and got a Fatal License Error that says the following or something like that following: "Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE) is set correctly and then run 'lmultil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem." I was able to download a license file for Questa Simulator and put into Quartus Prime Lite Edition's License Setup the file path to the license file for Questa Simulator. What steps do I need to take? Where should the license file be saved? Replies: Re: QuestaSim Error I got my issue resolved. I might be able to help. Respectfully, Akhil Jain Replies: Re: QuestaSim Error Interesting. is that only for a localized license file? For network licenses, is the System Environment variable "MGLS_LICENSE_FILE" still the correct one to use?

I think that there were multiple Intel webpages' steps to follow that I used. I do not remember all the steps I did. I think that I had to create a license file and download it and then restart my computer. Also, as I wrote on this webpage, " I created an 'LM_LICENSE_FILE' variable with a value of a file path to a license file. Afterwards, I power cycled my Windows laptop. Afterwards, I was able to run QuestaSim. " See if any information on the webpage at the following link helps: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/Intel-Starter-Edition-2021-2-requires-License/td-p/1280757 . The webpage might be outdated. Let me know what you do and whether you need additional help. Respectfully, Akhil Jain Replies: Re: QuestaSim Error Ya can you please tell me what to do ?

I created an "LM_LICENSE_FILE" variable with a value of a file path to a license file. Afterwards, I power cycled my Windows laptop. Afterwards, I was able to run QuestaSim.
