4 years agoHi,
We are moving from DE0 Boards (Cyclone III) with Quartus 13.1 and vsim (one class) or modelsim-altera (another class), moving to
DE10-Lite boards (MAX10) with Quartus 21.1 and vsim / questa.
We've got the same issue as the OP. When I go to do a University Waveform File (or run Tools/Run Simulation Tool), I get a licensing error. We have the intelqsim license code.
Here is the output from the UWF run (vsim):

Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., 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. Error.
I've attached picture of the error when I try to launch questa from Tools/Run Simulation Tool as well as the license setup from the menu.
Here is the license setup from lmutil:
