modelsim starter edition licence linux

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.

Hi

Based on my understanding, Ubuntu 20.04 version is not an officially support OS for ModelSim starter edition. An unsupported platform means that some things may work, but others not, and we won't put any resources into debugging or diagnosing. We recommended to use the right OS for ModelSim.

Sounds good, thanks for sharing and hope everything is working well at your side. This thread will be transitioned to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you
