Hi, I have been getting the below licence error when simulating / opening Quartus. I have checked my license, it's set up on my HP laptop in the environmental conditions, License set up in Questa and re-generated a license but I can't seem to find a route cause or a solution. Is anyone able to help?

Could you check whether the NIC ID associated with the license file is correct? Also, can you confirm if this is a Fixed type license?5.5.1. Identifying Host's NIC IDRegards,Richard Tan

    Try re-generate the questa license and make sure nic id is correct. Also try with SALT_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable (fixed license). If still cannot, use float license and set up license server using daemon. Related KDB link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000099465.html

*Remember to update the environment variable (LM_LICENSE_FILE) with the newly generated license file. Please refer to the section titled "Setting Up the Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition Software License" in the user guide

  During the questa launch I receive the following. I have looked at my license and it includes the 'intelqsimstarter' as shown in the black image - I am completely lost on what to do?

If you're using latest version, please use this environment variable SALT_LICENSE_SERVER for the fixed license.
