Cannot access SSLC portal for Questa License

Hi everyone,

I am a final-year ECE student and a newcomer to this community. Please excuse me if this is not the right place for this query, but I am looking for some help with the licensing process.

I am currently setting up a professional VLSI verification environment on my Linux workstation. I have installed the Questa*-FPGAs Standard Edition to support my learning in UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) and advanced SystemVerilog Assertions for my final-year project.

I am trying to obtain the free Starter Edition license through the Altera/Intel FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center (SSLC). However, when I attempt to log in to the portal, I receive the following error:

"You do not currently have access to this site. Please follow the instructions on the help page to request access."

I have a registered account, but being new to the Altera ecosystem, I am a bit confused on how to "request access" or verify my account to use the licensing portal.

Could someone please guide me on:

  1. How to properly activate my account for the SSLC portal?
  2. The correct steps for a student to get a zero-cost license for Questa?

I am really excited to start working with Questa and any guidance would be incredibly helpful!

Thank you for your patience and support,

Mayank Anand

    Mayank,

    Can you try requesting a license using Quartus?   In Quartus, go to Tools->License Setup...   Then click "Get no-cost licenses".   You should see a Questa option checkbox

    Hello Mayank,

     

    Good day to you.

    Based on suggestion provided by Chris, did you manage to request for the no-cost license file?

    Kindly let me know if you still facing issue.
