Modelsim Intel FPGA Edition 2020.3 Pro and 2020.1 Standard license problem

Hi I'm trying to run the Verilog HDL Testbench for a Single /Two Avalon-MM Master and Slave Pair. With Modelsim Intel FPGA Edition 2019.4 Pro everything is good, but with 2020.3 Pro and 2020.1 St...

Hi

Thanks for your update. At this point we could not see clearly what cause the failure. May we know, did you use remote desktop to compile modelsim?

2) How many Modelsim software is launched when you see this error?

3) Can you help check the environment setup for LM_LICENSE_FILE and MGLS_LICENSE_FILE? Provide me the screenshot.

Hi.

We only use one Modelsim at a time, we do not use Remote Desktop Connection.

Once again, I emphasize that Modelsim Intel Edition Pro19.4 works fine, but Modelsim Intel Edition Pro 20.3 has problems.

Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing Manual, p.41, table7, notes:

  1. The alteramtivsim license subscription supports both VHDL and Verilog HDL and mixed language simulation for
    ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition starting with Intel Quartus Prime software version 15.0 and later. This includes designs
    that are written in a combination of Verilog, System Verilog, and VHDL languages, also known as mixed HDL. For ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition version 6.3g_p1 and earlier, the alteramtivsim license subscription supports VHDL only.
    2. The ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition alteramtivlog license subscription supports Verilog HDL only and is available for ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition version 6.3g_p1 and earlier.

However, it is not clear why the following message appear in Modelsim transcript:

** License Issue: License request for alteramtivlog feature failed

Thanks,

Elit

      Hi.

      Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Modelsim Intel FPGA edition 20.3 Pro errors:

      ** License Issue: License request for alteramtivlog feature failed
      ** License Issue: No such feature exists. (C:\FLEXLM\license.dat)
      ** License Issue: No such feature exists. (C:\FLEXLM\license.dat)
      ** License Issue: No such feature exists. (C:\flexlm\license.dat)
      ** Error: Failure to obtain a Verilog simulation license. Unable to checkout any of these license features: 'alteramtivsim' or 'alteramtivlog'.

      Thanks,
