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?

Hello

Welcome to INTEL forum. Kindly provide your Questa license.dat file for further checking.

1) Error message screen shot

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,

Akhil Jain
