LM_LICENSE_FILE and MGLS_LICENSE_FILE

Hi,

we are at kratos are working with Aviram Evron the Altera FAE engineer in Israel.

I am using Quartus version 15.1

I installed Modelsim version 17.1 ae edition.

I placed the license file and set the parameters LM_LICENSE_FILE and MGLS_LICENSE_FILE correctly (see attached picture).

when I launch the modelsim I get fatal error "unable to checkout license.." ( see picture as well)

I launched command 'lmutil lmdiag' and gives the same path as in the environment variables windows(see attached picture)

As you can see I have in the system variables LM_LICENSE_FILE in addition to the user variable LM_LICENSE_FILE I created - is that a problem?

Any idea why the software cannot ID the licence? (attached is also the license file)

please help,

Noam Fishman

    It looks like there's no Modelsim AE feature included in the evaluation license. There should be a feature like msim*** or alteramt***.
