I'm using WinXP Pro, I have "full control" on the ModelSim directory.
Probably it is trying to write into another directory where it can't.
I really don't know.

I never use the licensing wizard because it does nothing more than
setting the variable and checking the hostid (which is unnecessary if
you ask for your license through a direct internet connection).
Are you using WinXP Pro? Are the WinXP permissions correctly set
(installation directory, user directory where ModelSim will create a
default modelsim.ini)?

I checked, the environment variable is correct. Today I saw that if I
open the licensing wizard before opening ModelSim, it correctly reports
that the license is valid, but when I open ModelSim as User it stops
working.

Now I can't control (I'll see tomorrow) but the error says that a "text
file" cannot be written.
However I'll try setting this environment variable.

ModelSim needs an env variable called LM_LICENSE_FILE which points to
the license.dat file. When you install ModelSim as administrator I guess
that this env. variable is installed in the private space of the
administrator. Have you verified that LM_LICENSE_FILE is defined as
system variable and not user variable? Can you see it when you log in as
a normal user?

ModelSim needs an env variable called LM_LICENSE_FILE which points to
the license.dat file. When you install ModelSim as administrator I guess
that this env. variable is installed in the private space of the
administrator. Have you verified that LM_LICENSE_FILE is defined as
system variable and not user variable? Can you see it when you log in as

ModelSim needs an env variable called LM_LICENSE_FILE which points to
the license.dat file. When you install ModelSim as administrator I guess
that this env. variable is installed in the private space of the
administrator. Have you verified that LM_LICENSE_FILE is defined as
system variable and not user variable? Can you see it when you log in as
a normal user?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install ModelSim XE (both II and III) on a WindowsXP box
but I can't get it working when I login as a simple no privileged User.
I installed the software logged as Administrator, and I loaded the
license.dat file, in this situation the software works correctly, but
when I use the computer as a normal User (I'm not the Administrator of
that computer) ModelSim doesn't work, It prints and error like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your evaluation license has been invalidated because
a text file necessary for licensing cannot be written.
In order to continue with the evaluation of Modelsim you will need to
correct the error, re-install the evaluation copy and re-request
an evaluation license from Model Technology.
Evaluation Error: 104
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I also changed the permissions on the ModelSim folder, and gave full
controll on it, but nothing changed.
Is there a way of using ModelSim not being Administrator on WindowsXP?
