Invalid license for ModelSim?

I purchased an Arria10GX dev kit and downloaded Quartus Prime Pro (19.3). I have a license file Intel sent via email. I can run QP and aocl. I just downloaded ModelSim (19.3) but I get an error at runtime:

$ ./vsim Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE) is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem. Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing. ** Fatal: Invalid license environment. Application closing.   $ ls $LM_LICENSE_FILE /home/okramer/intelFPGA_pro/1-RIWRVV_License.dat

 Here are some relevant excerpts from that license file. I don't see any mention of modelsim. How do I get that?

Hello

 

Welcome to INTEL forum. Based on my understanding Model Sim is not included in dev.kit bundle. Kindly contact your nearest Altera sales person or distributor to purchase a valid license file.

To order by phone:

In the United States and Canada, call Telesales at 1-888-800-0631.

Outside the United States or Canada, contact your local sales representative or distributor.
