HI Sir

Thanks for your patience. 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 Questa Intel FPGA Edition and the Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition license will require a unique identifier on the target workstation, like an Ethernet address or hard drive ID.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and difficulty that you have and for not being able to assist you fully. If you need any more clarification, please let me know.

Thank you for patience and understanding on this matter.
