    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.
