Welcome to Intel forum. It appears that the version of Questa included in 24.2 is no longer compatible with the old FlexLM daemon. To resolve this issue, upgrade to the Siemens FlexLM (SALTD) daemon v11.19.5.
In Siemens License version v11.19.5.0, there's a change that requires action if you're running a floating license server. You need to manually update the VENDOR daemon line in your license file from mgcld to saltd. For example: VENDOR saltd <path to saltd>.

Occasional ContributorHello, and thank you for your answers.
I checked the daemon version in the server (.../Intel/flexlm/alterad and .../Intel/flexlm/lmgrd), and it seems to be the latest version (11.19.6.0).
I assume this version should work as well?
About the vendor, I assume I need to change the following section near the beginning of my LR-..._LICENSE.dat file:
################################################################################
SERVER {...}
VENDOR alterad <{...}/Intel/quartus/linux64>
VENDOR mgcld <path to daemon executable>
USE_SERVER
################################################################################
I see that the mgcld path was not defined. In any case, when changing 'mgcld' to 'saltd', I am not sure where the 'saltd' executable path is located.
Could you provide further assistance on this step?
Lastly, after this change in the license is made, could you confirm that the environment variable that should be set up in my client is SALT_LICENSE_SERVER?
