Questa license server on linux

Hi

I try to setup a license server on linux for Questa.

We have license file, which I modified according the instructions

I was able to get lmgrd running, setup a LM_LICENSE_FILE=1717@dev1 (this is a server name)

After that I run a diagnostics ./lmutil lmstat

-----------------------------------------------------
License file: 1717@dev1.corp.devalore.com
-----------------------------------------------------
"msimviewer" v2022.090, vendor: mgcld, expiry: 30-sep-2022
vendor_string: 6DDBFAD6
License server: dev1.corp.devalore.com
floating license starts: 1-aug-2022, expires: 30-sep-2022

This license can be checked out
-----------------------------------------------------

mgls_ok also returns a "good" result, for example:

danyvak@dev1:/local/shared/intelFPGA_pro/questa_fe/linux_x86_64$ ./mgls_ok msimhdlsim
Checking availability of "msimhdlsim".
8:28:19 (mgcld) OUT: "msimhdlsim" danyvak@dev1.corp.devalore.com
License granted through "msimhdlsim".
8:28:19 (mgcld) IN: "msimhdlsim" danyvak@dev1.corp.devalore.com

And I get the same message for all features

but when I try to run a ./vsim I get:

danyvak@dev1:/local/shared/intelFPGA_pro/questa_fe/linux_x86_64$ ./vsim
Unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE)
is set correctly and then run 'lmutil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem.
Unable to checkout a license. Vsim is closing.
** Error: Invalid license environment. Application closing.

I really don't know how to proceed. The Linux version is Ubuntu 18.04
