Unity Free - Lightmapped Shadows

Hey, I'm pretty new to Unity, I know that dynamic shadows are a pro feature, but I'm quite confused by lightmapped shadows, can I create static lightmapped shadows in the free version?

I've tried the lightmapping window to lightmap a simple level but I get no shadows at all.

Thanks!

In the hierarchy or scene view, select your light. Then, in the lightmapping view, select the object tab and set baked shadows to on (either soft or hard depending on your game). Tweak the settings to fit your game and then hit bake!
