Can't open the Questa using nativelink

Hi,

I'm an undergraduate student and very new in FPGA field.

Recently, I've installed the Intel Quartus Prime lite Ed. and the Questa FPGA Starter Ed. I have generated the Questa license using the SSLC. Hence, i can normally open the QuestaSim software.

But when I add the code and after the Analysis&Synthesis, i want to run the RTL Simulation, here is a pop-up window shown, see this screenshot.

 

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

BR.

//PS: in case the install info is needed:

The Quartus Prime version is: Quartus (Quartus Prime 22.1std) Lite Edition,

The Questa version is: alongside installation with the Quartus prime, the software name is Questa Intel Starter FPGA Edition-64 2021.2

Also in the attachment is the .rpt file in the zip file format.

    Can you verify in the license generated has questasim feature?

    If no you probably have to generate a new license for questasim fpga starter edition for free.

      Hi SyagfieqS,

      The problem is solved. I turned to my mentor for help, and he reconfigured the Quartus Settings on my laptop, and now I can use the RTL simulator within the Quartus software as expected, namely open the Questa starter edition software.

      Sorry about the late response.

      BR.
