New ContributorQuesta FSE Installation: Env Variable Incorrect
Documentation for installation of Questa FSE: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/25-3/and-software-license.html
Indicates to export the `SALT_LICENSE_FILE`to the location of the necessary license file.
This variable should actually be `SALT_LICENSE_SERVER`.
Wanted to post my finding here in case any others have run into this.

The document has been updated and republished (v25.3), and you should now see SALT_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable reflected correctly in the document.
