NewBe: Qesta Intel starter edition -- unable to checkout a license

Question

Hello,

Using Quartus lite I create a simple schematic diagram -- and and2 gate with two inputs and output, mapped to the cyclon l10 pins.
I then wanted to simulate the schematic -- however, upon starting the simulator i got a licensing error:

c:/intelfpga_lite/21.1/questa_fse/win64//vsim -c -do MKRVIDOR4000.do
Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE)
is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem.
Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing.
 
I am unsure what to do, since I installed the free questa product
 
any help is much appreciated,
 
Dan
