Hi,


Thanks for reaching out. My name is Wincent, I am assigned to work on your support request.

There is a known issue documented where when the design capacity for the simulator is exceeded it will automatically pop up the error.

Users can suppress the error, but based on my understanding, as long as the notification popup, the simulation will be slower.


Let me know if you have any different thoughts on this.

Regards,

    Hallo,

    I've experienced a similar problem with the Starter edition of the Questa FPGA simulator in Quartus Prime Pro 22.2 (Linux).

    I would like, for one, to purchase a full license for the Questa FPGA Edition, since my project has more than 40'000 lines.

    However, the Self-Service Licensing Center populates the License only with Questa FPGA Starter Edition, and it seems there is no way to make it understand that I need an upgrade to the non-free license.

    According to my understanding, I'm entitled to use the full version of Quartus Prime Pro incl. Questa FPGA Edition, with the purchase of an Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGA. If this is wrong, then I would be very positive about purchasing a full license of the Questa software, but there is no way to reach an Intel person able to provide me with more information about the purchase process.

    I have made multiple installations of Quartus, all of them unsuccesful because the Questa FPGA Edition License is missing.

    Please provide me with any information about where to request the license.
