modelsim license

When I do

vsim

it says

Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE)
is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem.
Unable to checkout a license.  Vsim is closing.
** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

I installed Quartus Prime Pro 22.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 and am using a floating license.

In Quartus, the products with the license are shown as below.. so I assume that I set the license properly.

Below is the email that we receive for our purchase.

I assume that that the license for the ModelSim should be included

because "ModelSim-Intel ... " is included in the Products?

After few googling, I've found that there are "starter edition" and "regular edition".(https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Licensing-error-in-simulation-How-can-I-fix-it/m-p/718654)

1) How do I find whether mine is starter edition or regular edition. Can I reinstall starter edition of modelsim along with the currently installed Quartus Prime Pro?

2) How do I find that my license supports ModelSim or not?

Thanks in advance.
