ModelSim AE 10.1d Error

I've recently been given a trial ( eval) license for ModelSim AE.

I am able to open and run, compile and load libraries but when it goes to execute the vsim command I get the following:

# ** Error: Failure to obtain a Verilog simulation license. Unable to checkout any of these license features: alteramtivsim or alteramtivlog.

# Error loading design

I"ve modified the MGLS and LM environment variables with the path to the .dat file.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you mixing verilog and VHDL in the project? IIRC this isn't supported in some versions of Modelsim, even with a license.

    Thank you for the response. Actually, it had to do with trying to run it via Remote Desktop through a VPN. Apparently this isn't possible with ModelSim AE but oddly it is for ModelSim ASE. In the past, MS-ASE is all I've used. I've recently started using the licensed version and wasn't aware of this limitation.

    Take care,

    That's very strange. Are you sure it wasn't because the license was installed on the client instead of the server?
