Error licence to Questa on Quartus 24.1 lite

when using waveform in windows version of quartus lite, I got the error:

**** Running ModelSim simulation ****

c:/intelfpga_lite/24.1std/questa_fse/win64//vsim -c -do TopDE.do

** Fatal: Failed to initialize licensing environment. License environment not set correctly.

Unable to verify a license. Vsim is closing.

** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

Error.

I have seen similar errors in older versions on the forums, but these solutions did not work.

I even tried to install the licence driver and downlod the licence to questa, puting it on the path as LM_LICENSE_FILE as the quick start says, nothing worked.

    Could you invoke the standalone Questa FPGA Starter Edition software?
    Are you using a node-locked or floating type license? Could you share the license file .dat ?

      Do you observe any license checkout error message when invoke the Questa?

      The license file seems fine. *Make sure the NIC ID is correct.

      Do you set any other variable like MGLS_LICENSE_FILE or SALT_LICENSE_FILE?
      Those variables take precedence over the LM_LICENSE_FILE.
      If so, you may keep LM_LICENSE_FILE while ensure the others are deleted. Or you may set all variable to the license path.
      *Make sure the license path is valid and exist.
