Here are a couple solutions I can think of:

You must have Unity Pro. This goes without saying, but you can't do realtime shadows with the free version
Make sure your lights have shadows turned on. It should be a setting under the light component, you can also turn them on from the light's lightmapping settings.
You might want to tweek your "Shadow Distance" in the Lightmap display. This is the little window that pops up in the scene view when you have the lightmapping window open. This changes where Unity switches your lightmaps from entirely baked to just GI and AO with realtime shadows.

I'm not sure if any of these will solve your problem, but they are a few possibilities.

I am using Free version and I just need static shadows. I thought the lightmap is to bake out static shadows on ground?

I assume this has already been solved, but for anyone that happens upon this question, make sure the objects you're working with are also set to "static" in the Lightmapping panel. And it works in the free version, you just can't use GI.
