    Hello

    Welcome to Intel forum. But before setting up Modelsim, would you kindly help check, whether your machine is supported or not (OS) by referring to link below:

    https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html

    For ModelSim software, you must set an environment variable the location of license. you need to specify location of the license file using the LM_LICENSE_FILE system variable (click/checkout the Use LM_LICENSE_FILE variable). You need to set your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to the license that Intel provide. c:\intel\license.dat or something similar.

    Please stop and restart PC after assigning.

    You can refer to link on how to set environment variable.

    You can also refer this following YouTube for license setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob9ei5lMgGE

    Let me know if this information is helpful.
