Have you created an account on the Altera website I see they have a beta of a new version of their website so it may have all changed since I logged in last.

I already have Quartus II 14.1 Web Edition installed and running fine, compiling my designs.

Quartus Modelsim License Error Saying

However, when I try to run ModelSim, it complains with Fatal License Error saying it is unable to checkout a license.

I have carefully made sure that I ran the Altera Starter Edition including selecting that option during the installation process and it says that no license is required.

Quartus Modelsim 32 Bit Windows 7

The first computer was 64 bit Windows 7, the other one was 32 bit Windows 7.

Do I need some sort of license file to keep it happy, even though Altera says it doesnt need it.

Under Enable check the Enable sending TalkBack data to Altera it only sends metadata not your projects.

I did do a lot of web searching for the answer before asking here.

I did look at it a while back and it didnt look too intrusive.

Thanks. I dont have a problem with sending back data to them, I doubt if they will be that interested in what Im up to.

Oh dear, I tried that but still get the message saying I need a license.

I made sure I could log in to the Altera website with my account so not sure what I havent done.

I tried restarting Quartus and even tried rebooting the PC but still no.

Yes, I contacted Altera support and they told me of the patch - that sure does explain things I cant try this till later but it sounds like this should fix it.

Thanks again guys.

Hi: Im also having the exact same problem, can you please post the link to the patch Did you have an online technical support helping you with it since I cannot find the link to contact support staff, only documentations.

I believe it is fixed in the latest software, have you tried downloading that Yes, I did file a technical support question.
