Problem running Modelsim-Altera Web Edition

I downloaded the ModelSim-Altera Web Edition Software and installed it in my D drive . I also requested and downloaded the license.dat file but when I clicked to open the Modelsim-Altera software, the following error dialog appeared: 

 

"Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variables are set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem. Modelsim-Altera uses the following environment variables to check the licenses(listed in the order of preference) 

1. MGLS_LICENSE_FILE 

2. LM_LICENSE_FILE 

I tried to go to Control Panel and System icon ->Advanced, and created two new Environment Variables in the " Environment Variables" tab, as : 

LM_LICENSE_FILE with variable paths : the path where my license file is installed 

MGLS_LICENSE_FILE with the same path as LM_LICENSE_FILE 

But still I have the same error. 

 

Please anyone could help me solve this problem?

interesting a new Web edition of ModelSim 

 

follow the instructions on the Altera page to debug the FlexLM license server 

http://www.altera.com/support/licensing/q-...ii_q_and_a.html (http://www.altera.com/support/licensing/q-and-a/lic-qii_q_and_a.html

 

if you are working on a remote computer, check the firewall 

 

follow the instructions by letter, do not try to improvise with the license file 

 

i have used 

VENDOR mgcld "C:\Modeltech_ae\win32aloem\mgcld.exe" PORT=1802 

 

instead of the correct 

VENDOR mgcld "c:\altera\quartus60\win\mgcld.exe" PORT=1802
