Questasim FSE license setup

[Fpga_Egr_2025]

Hi,

I generated a fixed node license for  

Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition SW-QUESTA

to enable my Questasim  FSE  (Quartus Prime 24.1) from intel self service license portal . The .dat license file send to my email was named LR-230041_License.dat , i changed its name to just "license.dat". Created system environment variable and restarted my pc to make it work.

But it says unable to checkout license.

Whats the issue ?

See files attached

Thanks,

Regards

Hello,

Good day.

Can you try to setup the license without renaming the original DAT file name?

You can refer to link on how to set environment variable.

To make this entry, you may perform a windows Search for "System Variables" and then click on "Edit the System Environment Variables" and then click "Environment Variables". Be aware that you must add the entry in System variables, not user variables.

HI paveetirrasrie_Intel,

I did tried to run the Questasim after putting in place the original license with its file name "LR-230041_License.dat" at the location specified by environment variable , but no success.

Also i dont understand the install folder of Questasim does not have  license folder "

MGLS_LICENSE_FILE (<Questa installation directory>/licenses/eda/license.dat)

See screen shot attcahed.

For MGLS_LICENSE_FILE do i have generate a new license ?

Thanks Regards,
