    Hi @MuralikumarM

    Please check that the LM_LICENSE_FILE is directed to a license file. Modelsim Intel Edition required a license.

    How to set LM_LICENSE_FILE:

    In the command prompt:
    setx LM_LICENSE_FILE <license file path>

    example: C:\intelFPGA_pro\21.1\license.dat

    Best Regards,

and while running the simulation library compiler it shows as follows

Info: Command: quartus_sh --simlib_comp -tool modelsim -language vhdl -tool_path C:/intelFPGA_lite/20.1/modelsim_ae/win32aloem/ -directory C:/Users/murali.kumar/Desktop/OLD_SIM/learn/prime_lite -rtl_only
