I’m trying to download and install the 30-day free trial of PTC Windchill Risk and Reliability (formerly Windchill Quality Solutions), but I’m encountering an issue when accessing the trial link. When I click on the download link, I receive the following message:“Document Not Found — The web page, PTC Windchill Quality Solutions Evaluation, was retired on September 30, 2025.” Could someone from the PTC team or community please assist with obtaining access to the 30-day trial?My company is evaluating this software for potential purchase and would like to test its functionality before moving forward. @PeterCase

The Knowledge Base Search page returns a blank page. Is there an issue for others or is it just me? 

@PeterCase  While trying to read one of the articles sent by support (in my case, once a day), I came across this one which, as stated in the title of this discussion, is not visible to customers.   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS452584   I wonder if there is a way to intercept these types of articles and prevent them from being included in the email with the subject line “PTC Technical Support eNews & Alerts.”   If technical support has decided that the article should not be visible, I don't think it makes much sense for all users who have subscribed to support articles to be aware of it.

Exercise 6 - Build Display Data - the ReflowOvenMonitor is missing in the project.  The directions are to select Mashup "ReflowOvenMonitor" which does not exist in Mashups Browse list.  There is not direction on how to create the mashup.

I have entered 5 queries to the Knowledgebase this morning and they have all return just a blank page. Is there an issue for others with the Knowledgebase or is it just me?

We’re aware of the current access issues affecting PTC.com and PTC eSupport. Our team is working with our service provider to restore full functionality as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience - we’ll share updates here as soon as they’re available. Peter.

this is pretty frustrating as the training is not explaining. To sketch the "section as shown"- then it magically flips to the inside view.. no explanation. How do you rotate or flip like that? Is there a "hot key"?   

tutorial states simply to click the PTC icon and the learning connector will open in the drawing- it does not do that for me. Probably new user error but limiting and frustrating just the same

While Windchill starts, it can take 3-7 minutes to get beyond the Error 503 - Service Unavailable message in the browser, but it also can take up to 10 minutes.  We recommend closing the web browser and allowing the process to complete. (This wait time is usually a good time to read through the first pages of the class guidebook.) Infrequently, Windchill services will fail to start. It may continuously loop around the command prompt window. Do not select/highlight anything in the window to allow the process to continue. If it seems to be taking a long time, here are a few troubleshooting options: Option A: Restart your virtual machine sessionNote: This option will cause you to lose any work in progress.In the virtual machine toolbar, go to Profile > End Session.Relaunch the virtual machine using the same instructions as before. Option B: Restart Windchill From the virtual machine desktop, launch the Windchill Shell.At the prompt, type windchill stop.Press En

I'm trying to troubleshoot some issues today and it seems like most of the support articles are missing from the KB search results.  I suspect maybe a search index issue, but not sure.  I just know it's making it really hard to find solutions.  I'm resorting to other search engines, but even those seem to be finding only a subset of what used to be there.   Simple example.  This should return dozens, if not hundreds of support articles:
