Questa does not run on Redhat 8.7 in a virtual machine

I'm a long time Quartus user and design partner. I have always been on Windows until now I have a requirement to run in a Virtualbox Redhat 8.7 Guest. Quartus, Programmer and the IDE all seem to run ...

Hi All,

I was finally able to resolve this. Fixed license is fine, but the primary MAC has to be the virtual machine, it cannot be a companion ID, even though the licnse say use the companion IDs. It is ok for Quartus and Programmer, but not Questa. I still dont have it coming up from within Quartus, but I've seen a fix for that in the forums.

Thanks,

Leigh

Yeah, I always make sure the VM MAC address matches the license. It's not always the same as the real hardware MAC address.

    And it seems to have to be the primary, not one of the companions in the license.
