License generation issue for Questasim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition

Hi,

I'm having issues generating the free license for the Questasim*-Intel FPGA Starter Edition.

Whenever I try to generate one, the .dat file doesn't contain valid license info.

It only contains this:

Intel Corporation Software and/or Intellectual Property License File

# Intel Corporation Software and/or Intellectual Property License File

# Upgrade to these products will no longer be available after the Maintenance Expiration
# date unless licenses are renewed.

I've set my environment variable to point to the .dat file but questa complains about being unable to checkout a license. I'm assuming because of the lack of the actual license info in the .dat file and that there is probably an issue with license generation in the self-service licensing center?

Hi. 

 

There is an issue with license generator recently. A fix has been deployed. Could help to request/regenerate again a new license file in self-service licensing center and try it.
