New ContributorHaving checked out a few other posts here it seems fairly likely that many people are seeing the exact same issue, we're all just getting blank license files. Is there actually a place to get some support or because it's a free license the only support is to post here and hope an Intel employee take pity on us?
For my part I've moved back to modelsim using a post from 2 years ago telling you how to get it to run in a 64 bit operating system but that's honestly pretty sad. I've also posted my 'license' file here in the hope that an employee looking at the thread will have plenty of examples to send to the license team to get the license server fixed. And yes I tried lots of different things which is why I now have 3 non-licenses in there. I think we're all agreed here now that those license files are all comments and there are no actual license lines in them.

this is what it's SUPPOSED to look like. Obviously this license file is for a different product and is just an example but yes I think we can reasonably accurately state that the self-service portal is emailing out totally bogus license files. So it's just not going to work.
