Description:

Why are the Save and Save As options grayed out? I am not able to save an open model. 

Solution:

Please check the Help | About.  That most likely will show the CA ERwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition.  That is Navigator, which is a read-only version of the Workgroup Edition product for secure sharing of models across the organization.

Both ERwin and Navigator have the same executable file, what makes the program launch as one or the other depending upon the license file that is installed.  Once you apply the ERwin license file, the application will launch as ERwin.  Once you apply the Navigator license, it will launch as Navigator.  If you have both licenses installed, you can launch the application as either ERwin or Navigator.

In this case, you need to get an ERwin license file and apply it.  Here are the ways you may contact the CA Licensing Department:
