QuestaSim Error

[Akhil_Jain]

      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?

AR_A_Intel,

      Hi. 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.

      Let me know about whether you want me to do any actions.

Respectfully,

Ya can you please tell me what to do ?

      I can try to help. 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 The webpage might be outdated.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.
