Check that you have set up a license for Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition.
Please check the step-by-step guide below:

nicky05i use Quartus® Prime Lite Edition. It says that tjis edition do not need to have license, so is it same as Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition?- nicky05
How to solve this? Can you tell me the steps ?
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.

sstrellEven Lite requires a no-cost license. Generate the license and then add an LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to the file you generate.

You will need to set up license for Questa even you are using Quartus lite. The tool will checkout the Questa license when running the simulation waveform tool in Quartus.
Please check the table below regarding the "Summary of Intel FPGA Software Licenses Required":
