New Contributorquestasim unable to checkout a license
Hi ,
I am trying to install to run a questasim (RTL simulation) in quartus prime lite edition 22.1.
when I try to run the RTL simulation.
Error showing
" unable to checkout a license. Make sure your license file environment variable (e.g., LM_LICENSE_FILE) is set correctly and then run 'lmultil lmdiag' to diagnose the problem."
But I already downloaded the license from the Intel® FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center .
(I used my PC NAME , NIC ID , FIXED Type License). And set the environmental variable ( image attached ).
In quartus prime software also I license path is detected ( image attached).
I try to run the questasim directly from the location "C:\intelFPGA_lite\22.1std\questa_fse\win64".
same error is showing.
Please tell anyone where I done the mistake.
Thanks for your time

Hi.
There is an issue with license generator recently. The license generation issue has been resolved. A fix has been deployed. Could help to request/regenerate again a new license file in self-service licensing center and try it.

We have not heard from you and I hope that my last note in private message mail clears up this matter and it can now be move forward. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

Ok,,, I think my linux system is all configured up to start coding some FPGA finally.

Intel forum links are dead.. but I was wondering if you fixed this issue, as I'm facing the same road block.. I just generated a fixed license with the NIC ID of my Ubuntu pc but for some reason it cannot find it..
FvMHi, old forum contributions moved to Altera web site. You can search thread title to find it, e.g. Questa 2021.1, Fatal License Error: Unable to checkout a viewer license | Altera Community
There are however many recent discussions helping with Questa license issues.
