ModelSim Help! Not working.

Hi,

I currently have Quartus II 9.1 web edition installed on my computer. According to the download page, it appears I need ModelSim 6.5b with this? I installed both the standard and the starter and both of them are giving me license errors:

MGLS_LICENSE_FILE

LM_LICENSE_FILE

How do I fix this? Do I need an older versions "Web Editions" ModelSim or what? I would the the "starter edition" would not give me license errors but maybe I'm mistaken.

Thanks!

    Quartus II 9.1 does require Modelsim 6.5b.

    Your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable needs to point to your license file, eg. under Windows it would need to be something like

    c:\altera\license.dat

    If you already have an LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set, you can list multiple license files using semicolons to separate them.

    Cheers,

    Dave
