    HI Sir

    Thanks for your update. Upon checking with Intel IT team, Mentor engineering and Marketing team. Regrettably, the Dongle support has been disallowed for the OEM-Editions from v2019_3. Dongles are specifically disallowed in Exhibit 1 of the VAR Agreement.

    According to the recent updated agreement (Jan 2021 to Jan 2024), We dropped Altera USB dongle (GUARD_ID=) support from v2019_3 Mentor Licensing release.

    The Modelsim-AE 2021.1 Edition license will require a unique identifier on the target workstation, like an Ethernet address.

    Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and difficulty that you have.

Currently using QPP 21.2 for new designs and QII 13.1 for old designs. I have no problem with these licenses.

Attempting to license Modelsim-AE 2021.1
