Why don't you set the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable as well and then try. Most tools use the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable to set licenses. If it still doesn't work, do the following:

  1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the IntelFPGA folder where you have installed ModelSim Intel Edition. Eg C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.0\modelsim_ase
  2. Double-click the win32aloem folder and open it.
  3. Here search for the LMTOOLS.EXE file and double-click to run it.
  4. In the LMTOOLS window, select the Server Diags tab.
  5. Click the Perform Diagnostics button and wait for the tool to finish diagnostics.
  6. Copy and post the results here so that we can debug the issue.
