Questa FPGA Starter Edition Licensing Issue

I installed Questa FPGA Starter Edition and I cannot get a license for it. I have registered for the licensing site, but I still get "Account Required".

You may want to start a new thread, since nobody has gone private on this one. I'm still going to submit my screenshots later, and I want to make sure the assistant that asked for them gets them.

Thank you rostaman whatever you went through to get through the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable problem would be helpful.

    Sure, glad to help if I can! I just posted my info for the assistant. Let's see what happens.

    Hey RFI, I finally got it working! Before I only had the path to the subdirectory for my LM_LICENSE_FILE. I changed that to be the fully qualified filename of the license file. It still didn't work with the change to only the System environment variable, but after I modified the User one too, BOOM! Success!


    Hope it works for you too, friend.

      Thanks I am not sure what you mean by "fully qualified name" can you post a screenshot? I was only adding an env variable to User variables, I will try system variable next.
