occurrence).
2. The mail might be blocked by Outlook. Please check your Spam folder, if you
haven’t received the mail. If you have received the mail, but can’t see the content
of the mail, click on either “Show Blocked Content” or “Allow mails from this email

• Click on the Download link, and a download request (346.514 MB) should popup in a while.
Accept that.
• Once the download is complete, run the executable file.
• Follow the steps to download it into desired location (Though I would advise you to keep it
as default, and not change it).

form to request a free student license.

It is very important that you feel all the required fields. Failing to do so would result in
License Rejection. So be careful while filling these fields.

• Click on the “Request License” button, once the form is carefully filled.
• A license file will be generated, and matched to your host computer (i.e. you cannot use it
on someone else’s computer). You will receive the license file as an attachment in your
official Outlook ID. Name: student_license.dat
Note: If you haven’t received the license file within few minutes, please check your
Spam/Junk folder.
• Download the license file, and copy it to the main directory of your installation i.e. if you
didn’t change the location (kept it as Default) during installation prompt, it should be C:/
Modeltech_pe_edu_10.4a
• Paste the file there, and open the software through the desktop shortcut.
• Congratulations!
