=> look at: "4.4.Error: You don't have JavaScript enabled. You need to run the daemon (named flexlm) which will provide the license to modelsim. We will need a bit more context of your installation, but here some (maybe) help: Now, if you absolutely need the PE version because your design is too big for the free version, you will need to fix your license issue.
If you design is small, it will work without a license fight.
While this is not really an answer for your question, I would install the starter edition of modelsim (ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition)
After copying go back to desktop, right click on ModelSim PE student edition. Copy student_license.dat file in C:\Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a\ as well as in C:\Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a\win32pe_edu,. I added "LM_LICENSE_FILE" to environment variables and still get the same issue. Update: Another site suggested adding an environment variable to the location. However I have placed the license file where the error says it is looking for the file - in C:\Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a\win32pe_edu\ however I still get the error. # Please go to and download an updated copy of the ModelSim PE Student Edition. # - it is not for this version of ModelSim PE Student Edition. # ** FATAL ERROR: ModelSim PE Student Edition licensing failure due to one or more problems with the license key such as: If i double click on the entity I get this error down in the transcript window: ** Error: ModelSim PE Student Edition license key file not found at C:\Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a\win32pe_edu\.\student_license.dat. When I right click on my entity to try and select "create wave" this button is greyed out which it is not in the tutorial. I have the student version installed with the license key placed in the root install directory. I'm following a tutorial by Intel ( link to youtube video) which says that after analysis and synthesis I go to tools -> run simulation tool -> RTL simulation.
I'd now like to setup a test bench in order to simulate the code. I have written some VHDL code which compiles fine in Quartus Prime Lite edition. ModelSim PE Student Edition licensing issue
