Modelsim Altera Starter Edition

Hi,

I just install the tool (Free version). Some reason, when I invoke the tool, keep asking for the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variables path.

Can any one help me on these?

Thanks

    You need to define these two variables in your windows environment.

    I am using Starter Edition too. These two variables are NOT required. If you are using the old ModelSim free version. then you must have a legacy license file, right?

    I am using Altera-modelsim starter edition and It say it does not require license but when I try to run the software it demands for license.

    xohaib@zee:~/Downloads/12.1_177_modelsim_ase_linux/linux_installer/modelsim/INSTALL/bin$ ./vsim

    Unable to find the license file. It appears that your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE) is not set correctly.

    Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing.

    ** Fatal: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

    Any solution to above error.

    Regards,
