Hi

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>.
