1 year agoI have the same problem as well. I am trying to get this running on a RedHat 9 VM that I am running on my Mac via VMWare Fusion.
I've generated the license twice (yesterday, and today) and they look exactly the same:
# Intel Corporation Software and/or Intellectual Property License File # Issued 12 December 2024 # Upgrade to these products will no longer be available after the Maintenance Expiration # date unless licenses are renewed. # Fixed Node License # Primary Machine Name-rhel_vm # Primary Machine ID-NIC ID 000C296B6D6A # Companion ID-N/A # Companion ID 2-N/A # Product License Summary: # 3 Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition (License: SW-QUESTA), 1 Seat(s) # - Maintenance Expiration of 2025.12 # - License Expires 12-Dec-2025 ################################################################################ # FEATURE START # This is license file for Questasim*-Intel FPGA Starter Edition # Number of seat licenses is 1 # License Expires 12-Dec-2025 300 Your contract does not allow you to use this license type.: u # FEATURE END ################################################################################ # End of Intel Corporation Software and/or Intellectual Property License File.

Make sure your license file environment variable (SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE) is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem. Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing. ** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

I've set both SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, and LM_LICENSE_FILE to point at my license file.
Please give some advice Intel!
