problem about license of Modelsim in Altera quartus webpack

Hi, I installed Quartus II and it works except Modelsim on both my laptop and desktop computers. For desktop computer, I got the license as follows from email:

Your license: FEATURE quartus_lite alterad 2007.04 15-apr-2007 uncounted \

5..........2 HOSTID=001........b SIGN="1F...............56 \ .......................... \ .....................AF B041 \ 0AA5 E437"

When I run ModelSim-Altera WE-6.1d, the diaglog box said: Unable to checkout a license, Make sure your license file environment variables are set correctly and then run 'lmutillmdiag' to diagnose the problem. Modelsim-Altera uses the following envrionment variables to check the licenses (listed in the order of preference)

  1. MGLS_LICENSE_FILE
  2. LM_LICENSE_FILE

It seems I forgot to check for modelsim when I required the license. I try to get a new one with modelsim, but what I get is the same. How to get one license with modelsim enabled?

For my laptop computer, I do have a license:

Your license: FEATURE quartus_lite alterad 2007.04 15-apr-2007 uncounted \ CEE........ HOSTID=00XXXXXXXXXX SIGN="09B8 XXXX XXXX XXXX \ .........................................................3E \ .....................................................8 BEEF \

5.A. 2..A" INCREMENT alteramtiwe mgcld 2007.04 15-apr-2007 uncounted \ 6.................1C VENDOR_STRING=CD.....4 HOSTID=00.......... \ SUPERSEDE ISSUER=Alterav3.3

But I get the same diaglog error message as the above. I don't know how to set up the license of ModelSim-Altera. Quartus II works well on both desktop and laptop except ModelSim. Could you help me? Thank you very much.

Sorry, to add a little. The OS is XP on both computers. The web connection is diag-up. I don't know whether it is related. Thank you.

Do you have your environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE set to the path of your license file ?

On your laptop, you seem to have the feature alteramtiwe declared on your license file. It might be OK for you to use Modelsim-Altera WE. However, you don't have this feature on your desktop computer.

Thank you. It is OK now. Sometimes the response from web is different even though my inputs are the same. It is strange. I get the right license now. The laptop depends on environment variable, while Quartus can depend on a file path.
