Creo View 8 Unable to access the Animation functions.

I am using PTC Product View (Formerly Creo View) Release 8.0 and Datecode 8.0.0.0 I am unable to access the Animation Advanced function when working in the MCAD Creo View mode. I get a message that says "The Animation (edit) license is not available at this time"

Creo View Animator is a separate license that needs to be purchased and available. It is not included with the MCAD license alone.

SPN-2449-F- Creo View Animator - Registered User

Feature Comparison of PTC Creo View MCAD

Animation is listed as an MCAD capability with an *Asterix* - *Features require additional Creo View module(s).
