modelsim-Altera WE 6.1d

Hi 

 

I am using modelsim-Altera WE 6.1d along with quartus II v6.0 and dsp builder v6.0. 

I have license file and I also setup the environment variables in following order: 

 

1. MGLS_LICENSE_FILE 

2. LM_LICENSE_FILE 

 

But when I try to open modelsim then "Fatal License Error" window appear and it has the following message. 

 

"unable to checkout a license. make sure 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

if you don't get to the solution and have a licensed version of the software
