Questa FlexLM Licensing Error -5,147: No Such Feature exists

[stuetz]

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue as described here: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Quartus-ModelSIM-FlexLM-Licensing-Error-5-147-No-Such-Feature/td-p/1279656?profile.language=pt.

I checked all the hints above, but cannot checkout the Questa license:

"intelqsim" v2024.01, vendor: mgcld, expiry: 31-oct-2023
vendor_string: 057D5A07
License server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
floating license starts: 2-aug-2023, expires: 31-oct-2023

This license cannot be checked out because:
No such feature exists.
Feature: intelqsim
License path: 27000@XXXXXXXX;
FlexNet Licensing error:-5,147

Running

lmutil lmstat -c 27000@localhost -a

on the server gives:

mgcld: UP v11.16.4
Feature usage info:
Users of mgcvipae: (Total of 6 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)
Users of mgcvipaeaxi: (Total of 6 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)
Users of mgcvipaeaxi4: (Total of 6 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)
Users of intelqsim: (Total of 6 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)

Further I tested the TCP connection with

Test-NetConnection <YOUR_SERVER> -Port <your_port>

for all ports (lmgrd alterad mglcd) seem to allow a TCP connection from the client side.

If it matters - we are running Win11 on both the client and the server.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello,

Welcome to INTEL forum. To further check, could you provide:

1) Debug/error.log file(latest)

2) Error message screen shot

3) Machine OS information

4) Quartus version used

5) License.dat file

For the people of the future: I think I resolved the issue.

It seems there is something funny with lmdiag and the two vendor demons.

Anyway, the main confusion on my side was, that I tried to run Intel Questa FPGA Starter Edition with only the license for intelqsim available. Starting Intel Questa FPGA Edition, that ships with Prime Standard, runs with the intelqsim license feature.

The license feature for the Intel Questa FPGA Starter Edition is called intelqsimstarter.

Anyway, thanks for the support!

Thank you for clarifying that the main source of confusion was attempting to utilize the license for "intelqsim" to run Intel Questa FPGA Starter Edition. It's understood that launching Intel Questa FPGA Edition, included with Prime Standard, requires the "intelqsim" license feature.

I also appreciate you mentioning that the specific license feature for Intel Questa FPGA Starter Edition is termed "intelqsimstarter."

Hope everything is working well at your side. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.
