Trying to get RTL simulation on Questus Prime Lite

Hello all,

I'm a community college professor, and I have had IT install Quartus Prime Lite Edition on the computers in our digital design lab, where we have the devices that the students are programming. I'm trying to get the RTL simulation working, and even though I've walked through the same steps on my own machine, I can't get the simulation to work on the lab computers, and I'm at a loss of where to tell IT to look for some kind of configuration error. When I try to run the RTL simulation, I can't seem to find any error messages, it just seems to stop, instead of showing the waveforms I am hoping to see.

I've attached the verilog code, and log files that I think are applicable, but please let me know if there are other files I should be looking at to figure out the issue.

Thank you for any help you can provide,

James

P.S. I've had to change some file extensions to .txt to be able to be uploaded.

    Most likely it's a licensing issue. Even though Lite is free, you still need a license for Questa to work. How do you have licensing set up on the lab computers?

    Also check your environmental variables. You need an LM_LICENSE_FILE variable pointing to the license file if you are using a fixed license file.
