Can't Open Questa, unable to checkout a license

How could I fix this issue?

Already set the LM_LICENSE_FILE.

And the lmdiag output as screenshot.

    Hello

    Welcome to INTEL forum. Can you give me a little background/elaborate on current issue, could you provide the error message screenshot or any difficulty that could help on understanding this issue?

    To further understand the issue, could you get me the:

    1) Debug/error.log file

    2) Error message screen shot

    3) Screenshot of Quartus II>>tools>>license setup

    4) Machine OS information

    5) Quartus version used

    6) Output of “lmutil lmstat –a –c <port>@<address>” server and client

    7) License.dat file

    For privacy, reply/attach file in private message.

    Which license should we purchase? And the "svverification" license is essential.

    I hope all is well. We have not heard from you and I hope that my last note clears up this matter. It is not recommended to keep a Case idle too long without activities. This thread will be transitioned to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you
