Hello Bob,


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.

This is likely the root cause of the issue.


The MGLS_LICENSE_FILE takes precedence over LM_LICENSE_FILE settings. Kindly let me know if this helps on resolving the issue.


Regards,

Pavee

I removed the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable, but I'm still getting the "Unable to checkout a license" error.
