Anildesh,

Did you change the name of the file or is it still
student_license.dat?
Did you open the file in an editor? If so, did you use a plain text
editor
like notepad? If you used a non-plain-text editor hidden formatting
characters
can be placed in the file rendering it useless.

My only recommendation would be to uninstall/reinstall ModelSim PE
Student Edition and request another license file.

Megha,

When you reinstalled ModelSim PE Student Edition did you request
another license file? Each installation requires its own unique
license file. If so, did you place the license file in the ModelSim
top level install directory? (example: C:\ModelSim_PE_EDU_64c
\student_license.dat)

ModelSim SE requires a viewer license which you must purchase. Did
you mean to install SE or were you trying to download and install the
PE Student Edition?
