Hi,


Make sure you specify the correct Questa simulator tool path by click Tools > Options > EDA Tool Options check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/703090/21-1/specify-eda-tool-settings.html:

  • On Linux systems<installation directory>/questa_fe/bin
  • On Windows systems<installation directory>/questa_fe/win64

Also, make sure you specify the correct path of license file in Environment Variables:

Variable: LM_LICENSE_FILE

Value: <License_File_Path>


Thanks,

Best Regards,

Sheng
