Hello,

Thank you for the help.

I generated and received new license for "Questasim*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition".

1. Quartus is now pointed to this file location with added my floating license port@server after ";" at the same line.

2. I modified LM_LICENSE_FILE variable to have full path to the file with new Questa license and added my floating license port@server after ";".

Questa can't find license as before. Quartus works fine.

Please advise how to resolve that issue.

Best regards,

Val
