Quartus prime lite issue with simulating and licence

hi all,

I download and install quartus lite edition v21. I create and check a schematic but when I want to simulate with uniiversity program VWF, I have an error (see below) about a licence requierement. but for lite edition I didn't see any licence. can you help me on this please?

** Running the ModelSim simulation ****

c:/intelfpga_lite/21.1/questa_fe/win64//vsim -c -do Test_OU.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.

** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

    Hello

    Welcome to Intel forum. Could you help to request the Questa Sim Starter Edition free license again here https://licensing.intel.com/

    1) Go to Sign up for Evaluation or Free licenses

    2) Select Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition SW-QUESTA

    3) # of Seats is always 1

    4) Check the T&C box

    5) Click Get License button

    The license will be sent to email that you register with

    But before that, could you help clear your web browsers cache/temporary internet files (if possible, shutdown your PC and restart back) and sign back to SSLC https://licensing.intel.com/ using Google chrome and see how things go.
