I have a problem with my Modelsim license.I have recently(less than a month) intalled a student version of modelsim,more exactly modelsim 10.1 PE student edition.It worked fine for a while,but now when i try to simulate it says it cannot because the license has expired.
I'm surprised because in the mail i received it says that the license is available for 180 days.
 

Did you ever changed time/date recently (after installing modelsim).

This may trigger license expiry i guess..
 

Is MODEL SIM a share ware or what I ill have to do once the license expires

PS I am yet to try it out in a licensed version
And also do say whether it is better to use the student version or buy it online for the full version
 

No ,I do not think that the date has been modified.Other must be the cause.
No,ModelSim is not a shareware.Is just that the owners want students to learn using it,so they offer a free limited version of the program.Obviously,if you buy it ,you will unlock all of this program features.
 
Modelsim is not shareware and requires either a valid node locked or floating license.

If you want to buy a full version better be prepared to spend $10K (US) for it. Modelsim is not cheap. If you really can spend $$$ for a simulator try Aldec they have some versions that are around $5K (US) last time I looked.
