Did the name of the Simulate license change in Creo 7? I can't seem to pull a license. I can pull a license with every version but 7 and my psf files point to the exact same license server. I can pull other floating modules with Creo 7 just not Simulate.

Hi,

1.]

You can compare license names if you open Creo 6.0 and Creo 7.0 license file.

2.]

Simulate license must be defined in <installdir>\Creo 7.0.0.0\Common Files\mech\text\licensing\mech\feature.dat file.

Check the feature.dat as mentioned by Martin it should have details as listed in article CS59300

The  feature.dat is exactly the same for Creo 6 and Creo 7 but I am able to get into Simulate with Creo 6.

MEC_BASIC_UI "MECBASICUI_License"
MEC_BASIC_ENG "MECBASICENG_License"
STRUCT_UI "<No license features>"
STRUCT_ENGINE "<No license features>"
STRUCT_THERMAL_UI "<No license features>"
STRUCT_THERMAL_ENGINE "<No license features>"
MEC_ELITE_UI "<No license features>"
MEC_ELITE_ENG "<No license features>"

Hi,

check license file contents. I must contain following line

INCREMENT MECBASICUI_License ptc_d 38.0 ...
