    Hi,


    Need to specify the simulator LM_LICENSE_FILE path check this document link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/23-3/faq.html (page 47):

    On Windows System

    1. Go to This PC, right-click, and select Properties.

    2. Click Advanced System Setting.

    3. In the Advanced tab, select Environment Variable.

    4. Under System variables, create a new variable with the name asLM_LICENSE_FILE and value as <license.dat file path>.

    5. Click OK and restart the Questa*-Intel FPGA Edition software.

    Alternatively, open a command prompt and run the following command to set up the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable:

    setx LM_LICENSE_FILE <path_to_license_file>;%LM_LICENSE_FILE%

    For example: setx LM_LICENSE_FILE C:\intelFPGA \license.dat;%LM_LICENSE_FILE%


    Thanks,

    Regards,

    Sheng
