ModelSim Exit code 211 with CycloneV Fractional PLL

Hello, I'm trying to simulate on ModelSim Intel-FPGA Started Edition 10.5b a design that was compiled on Quartus Prime 18.1 on the CycloneV. The design compiles correctly, and the EDA netlist Writer...

I am able to run gate-level functional simulation using Questa Intel FPGA with 22.1std version.

Could you try to install Quartus 22.1std and Questa Intel FPGA (or the latest 23.1std version), and run it.

Regards,

    Hi Richard, thanks again for the reply.

    I'm still having issues. I just tried to compile the project in both versions of quartus you've listed 22.1 and 23.1.

    In the attachment there is the project made entirely in quartus 23.1 (therefore the IP was not upgraded, but it was redone). I've also tried changing between QuestaIntel Starter and Non-Starter Edition.

    In all cases, I am still getting the same issue in the vsim command:

    Error $MODEL_TECH/../intel/vhdl/src/cyclonev/mentor/cyclonev_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): in protected region.

    If your version is working, could it be a problem with a license? For now I downloaded one from the intel licensing page, as my company has not yet upgraded to the latest version.

    Here I've attached the latest project, and you can see that in Simple_PLL\simulation\questa\msim_transcript I am getting this error.
