Hello.
I just installed Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 with the free version of questa.I've alos requested a free license. But while running the simulation it stopped with this message

Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE)
is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem.

Hi TonyWu-21474 ,
This error usually occurs when using a version of Questa that is not supported by the license that you have. Please confirm if your trying to use the Questa starter edition, Questa Intel FPGA Edition, QuestaSim, etc.
You could also try re-installling Questa
