QuestaSim license: Invalid license environment error

I've installed the 'Questa Intel FPGA Edition-64'. I've got the license.dat file (attached).

When executing ./vsim, I got the following error:

cristian@Phoenix:/opt/tools/intelFPGA_pro/22.2/questa/questa_fe/linux_x86_64$ ./vsim
Unable to checkout a license. 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.
In the .bashrc I've:
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/local/share/license.dat
I'm running a single node lock single, that's why I'm just using the LM_LICENSE_FILE setting in the .bashrc file.
Machine OS Information:

At this moment I just need to run simulations, therefore, no Queatus Prime is installed.
I'll appreciate your quick response.
