Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply!
I followed your link to regenerate the license, updated the NIC ID, and found the Questa simulator tool in the license, but the configuration still didn't work.
My project only needs questasim from the package.I installed Questa-Intel FPGA Edition (including Starter Edition) first and selected the starter edition during installation. But after selecting Questa-FPGA Starter Edition (License: SW-QUESTA) in the Intel FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center and generating the license (I found intelqsimstarter in the license), it still failed. I suspect that I might not have found the correct license for my downloaded version. I'd appreciate it if you could help.
After you have generate the new license file, have you set the environment variable settings correctly to the new license file?
Regards,
Richard Tan

Hi Richard,
Yes, and I think my settings should be correct. Actually I previously had a version of ModelSim on my computer that also required a license, and my environment configuration worked for it. However, after changing the environment variables to the newly generated license, I still encounter errors.

Could you attached your newly generated license file .dat file here for further investigation?
May I know which Questa-Intel FPGA Edition version are you using?
Try to remove the LM_LICENSE_FILE and use SALT_LICENSE_FILE instead.Regards,

Hi Richard,
I've attached a screenshot of my license below.I've installed the Intel FPGA Edition (Starter Edition) 2022.4(Windows OS), which includes Quartus Prime Pro 23.1.0.115, and selected Questa-Intel FPGA Starter Edition during the process.As you suggested, I removed the environment variable SALT_LICENSE_FILE. This did eliminate the error message, but I'm still unable to open questasim.exe located in the .\intelFPGA_pro\23.1\questa_fse\win64 directory. After displaying the Questa logo, it crashes immediately without showing the normal software interface.
