    AR_A_Intel,

    Hi. I created an "LM_LICENSE_FILE" variable with a value of a file path to a license file. Afterwards, I power cycled my Windows laptop. Afterwards, I was able to run QuestaSim.

    Let me know about whether you want me to do any actions.

    Respectfully,

    Akhil Jain

        I can try to help. I think that there were multiple Intel webpages' steps to follow that I used. I do not remember all the steps I did. I think that I had to create a license file and download it and then restart my computer. Also, as I wrote on this webpage, "I created an 'LM_LICENSE_FILE' variable with a value of a file path to a license file. Afterwards, I power cycled my Windows laptop. Afterwards, I was able to run QuestaSim."

        See if any information on the webpage at the following link helps: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/Intel-Starter-Edition-2021-2-requires-License/td-p/1280757. The webpage might be outdated.

        Let me know what you do and whether you need additional help.

        Respectfully,
