Question

educational license renewal

Hello

I have the educational license of CREO12.4.0.0 joyfully running for 12 months, and now the license has expired. I downloaded the winzip file of creo12.4.0.0, and ran the install_license_server_exe file, in the hope that I only have to renew the license, and not reinstall the whole software.

 

However, in the process, I stumble upon this message:

Access Denied - Insufficient Privileges

Your web account does not hold the following required privileges to access the application:

  • License Management Reporting for read-only access.
  • License Management Licensing for configuration and license file generation access.

… and now I’m stuck. Can you fix this.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Lukas

    Perhaps this will be of use, the FAQ for educational licenses:

    https://support.ptc.com/for/education/coll-univ/admin/licenseFAQ.htm

    Or, you might perhaps post an inquiry on the specific forum 

    https://community.ptc.com/ptc-education-forum-360

    Which has probably dozens of similar inquiries, since this seems to be a perennial problem.

    Dear Ken

    thank you for your answer.

    Should  I contact the academic support team through email, as suggested on the community?

     AcademicSupport@ptc.com

    Kind regards
