Occasional ContributorQuestasim FSE license setup
You may delete the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable or update its value to point to your correct license path.
It looks like Questa is currently using MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, but the path specified is invalid or does not exist (as you stated).
This is likely the root cause of the issue.
The MGLS_LICENSE_FILE takes precedence over LM_LICENSE_FILE settings.

Although within my Quartus and in my windows 11 environment variables it is set as per guide lines:
and here again : i did not set the variable "MGLS_LICENSE_FILE " , should i delete this ?
