Hi @sunkim68
May I know which Questa Sim version that you are using?
Are you using the Questa - Intel FPGA Edition Revision 2021.04 from https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/21.3/?edition=pro

Try to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and see if the issue resolved.

I think it is install when I install QuartusProSetup-21.3.0.170-windows.exe, so not sure
But I also try to install for QuestaSetup-21.3.0.170-windows.exe and model sim too and they are showing me same error.
If you know free trial version download, please let me know. I need free trial for Quartus and Questa.

Hi @sunkim68
Questa*-Intel FPGA Starter Edition is free, but requires zero cost licenses.
The LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable specify the location of the license file. Before using Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition software, you must set an environment variable the location of license.
1. You need to have a license.dat file first. Request the license from the Self Service Licensing Center if you haven't done so.
2. Then, go to "My PC", right click properties
3. Click Advanced System Setting.
4. In the "Advanced" tab, click environment variable
5. In the "System Variable", create a New variable with name= LM_LICENSE_FILE, value= <the path to your license.dat> e.g. C:\license.dat
6. Click Ok and restart the Questa.
Or a more straight forward way:
In the command prompt:
setx LM_LICENSE_FILE <the path to your license.dat>
For more information, refer to the User Guide below:

Hi @sunkim68
There seems to be an issue with the license generator. The installation should be fine.
Could you try to re-generate the license and run the Questa again?

Hi Richard,
Yes, it is license file issues and I didn’t re-generated but Intel sent new one and it works.
But I had a another issue and below.
I think it is tool limitation for free and If you have any good idea, please let me know.
# ** Error: Failure to checkout svverification license feature.
# ** Error: (vsim-1) Unable to checkout verification license - required for testbench features (randomize, randcase, randsequence, covergroup).

From what I get from database, I believe the following constructs require svverification license:
- randomize
- randcase
- randsequence
specifying vsim -nocvg will turn off all coverage features.
If issue persists, you may share the design files and provide steps to duplicate the error so I can investigate further.
