Hi,

you have to add additional psf file into Creo Parametric\bin subdirectory, for example parametric+AAX.psf

This file should contain line similar to the following one.

ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_DesignEssG (10119)

In my case 10119 is code related to SPN-3021-L Creo Advanced Assembly Extension package

On each user's system open ...

"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo xxx\Parametric\bin\reconfigure.lnk". where Creo xxx is the version of creo in use to Reconfigure. Admin Rights for the system would be required.

Add the required licenses and name the new configuration as Creo_AAX for differentiation.

The next time Creo opens, it would ask for the configuratin to use.

p.s.

I am unable to post screenshots since it requires admin rights.

I have the same question for ISDX / Restyle function.

Can that one also be added as an extension to Creo DesignEssG

Hi,

if you own SPN-3216-L- Creo Reverse Engineering Extension (REX) then you can use following line:

ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_DesignEssG (209 93)

209 ... Reverse Engineering (Restyle)
93 ... VERIFY

License.res is really not very nice. The one on our license server is 2467 lines long, and just an incessant list of options since we started using PTC products. How a typical user would know which bits of information are needed is a mystery to me.

Far easier to look into the license.dat file.

Also, I don’t know about anyone else’s company, but at ours the typical user does not have direct access to the license server. I do, but that’s because I’m the one who loads in the new license file every year when we pay our subscription. I wish the results from ptcstatus.bat would reference the numbers, but sadly there doesn’t seem to be any utility provided to the regular user with this ihformation. Oh well.

License.res is not a list of options you’ve “accumulated.” It’s a history of changes to the general list of options (lines beginning with the # character), followed by the actual list of all options in numerical order and a (nearly complete) list of packages. And the fact that this list isn’t accessible to regular users is a good thing. There’s no reason for them to be on the license server :)
