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.

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: No such feature exists. (C:\FLEXLM\license.dat)
    ** License Issue: No such feature exists. (C:\FLEXLM\license.dat)
